Raymondville Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Raymondville Isd

Raymondville ISD serves a school-age population across prekindergarten through grade twelve in Willacy County in South Texas. The district's student body is predominantly Hispanic, reflecting the demographics of the Rio Grande Valley community it serves. Nearly all students test in English as their primary assessment language, with a small cohort testing in Spanish at the third-grade level.

The district's academic performance shows a profile of mixed strength across subjects and grades. In English language arts, students at the elementary levels (grades four and five) are reaching proficiency at rates above the middle, with grades six through eight holding steady in the lower-to-mid range of performance. Mathematics shows relative consistency across the elementary and middle grades, with a notable dip at grade six before recovering at grade eight. In science, proficiency is below the district's performance in ELA and math, most visibly in grade eight. Social studies proficiency at grade eight is notably the softest area, with only a quarter of students meeting the state's proficiency threshold. Grade three data in both ELA and math are not reportable due to a very small tested cohort taking the Spanish-language assessment.

When looking across all tested grades and subjects combined, a substantial share of students reach the "approaches" level, indicating foundational understanding. The gap between "approaches" and "meets" proficiency is meaningful, particularly in science and social studies. Advanced performance, captured at the "master" level, affects fewer than a third of students across all tested areas.

The district's per-pupil spending sits in the lower range compared to other Willacy County districts, despite serving a student population that faces economic challenges. Chronic absenteeism stands as a notable concern, with rates running substantially higher than at least one peer district in the county.

Raymondville ISD introduced a significant pathway in early 2024: a two-year college scholarship program through its Early College High School in partnership with Texas Southmost College. Graduating seniors enroll tuition-free and receive support for books, fees, meals, transportation, and technology, with the goal of earning an associate degree or industry certification. For a community where a substantial share of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, this program represents a direct financial benefit and concrete college access that families considering the district would want to understand.

The district operates a small number of school sites: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one traditional high school, alongside an options academy and an inactive alternative program. State testing data were not available for graduation rates or for high school courses and pathways beyond the college scholarship program, so a parent seeking details on course breadth, dual-credit offerings, or college-readiness support would want to reach out directly to the district for that fuller picture.
