Best Public Schools in Yoakum, TX

In contrast, the district's elementary and middle schools, such as Yoakum J H, face challenges in meeting state proficiency levels on STAAR tests, particularly in Reading and Mathematics, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support at the early grade levels.

Despite the academic challenges faced by some schools, the district appears to be investing resources in maintaining relatively small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios ranging from 9.6 to 13.8 across the schools. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.92% to 82.52%, highlights the significant economic challenges faced by the Yoakum community, which may contribute to the academic performance issues observed in certain schools.
