Summary:
The city of Evant, Texas is home to two small public schools - Evant Elementary and Evant High School, both part of the Evant Independent School District (Isd). These schools serve a diverse, economically disadvantaged student population and face significant academic challenges, with both schools performing well below state averages on standardized tests.
Evant Elementary is a small school with just 103 students, with a student body that is 48.54% White, 44.66% Hispanic, and 3.88% African American. The school struggles academically, with proficiency rates on STAAR tests ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Texas elementary schools. This is likely due in part to the high percentage (69.9%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population. The school also has relatively low spending per student at $10,386 per year.
While Evant High School has some bright spots, such as strong performance in 8th grade reading and U.S. History EOC exams, the school also faces significant challenges. With a student population of just 100 students, the school has a 4-year graduation rate of 71.4% and a dropout rate of 4.5%, both of which are worse than the state averages. The school's academic performance is mixed, with very low proficiency rates in 7th grade math and English II EOC exams.
