Summary:
The city of Yantis, Texas is home to two schools - Yantis School, a high school, and Yantis Elementary, both part of the Yantis Independent School District (Isd). While the schools have some standout metrics, they also face challenges in addressing performance gaps and socioeconomic factors.
Yantis School stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate of 96.4% and strong performance on certain STAAR end-of-course exams, including 60.61% proficiency in Biology and 90% proficiency in U.S. History. In contrast, Yantis Elementary excels with 55.56% of 5th grade students scoring proficient or better on the STAAR Reading exam. However, both schools lag behind state averages in 3rd and 4th grade STAAR Reading and Math, indicating potential performance gaps that could be addressed.
Socioeconomic challenges are also a factor, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at both Yantis School (64.1%) and Yantis Elementary (77.6%). Additionally, both schools have seen their statewide rankings decline in recent years, which could be a concerning trend worth investigating further. Despite these challenges, the schools' collaboration within the Yantis Independent School District (Isd) presents opportunities to share best practices and improve overall district performance.
