Summary:
The city of Valley Mills, Texas is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Valley Mills Independent School District (ISD). While the schools face some academic and socioeconomic challenges, there are also areas of strength, particularly at Valley Mills High School.
Valley Mills High School stands out with its impressive 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, significantly outperforming state averages.
