Veribest Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Veribest Isd

Veribest ISD is a small rural district in Tom Green County serving students from pre-K through grade 12. The enrollment sits at about two hundred fifty students spread across three schools: an elementary campus, a high school, and a separate accelerated/alternative program. The district's student body is roughly evenly split between white and Hispanic students, with very few other demographic groups represented.

Recent state test results reveal a district experiencing uneven academic performance across grade levels. In the elementary grades, math proficiency is quite low, with only a small fraction of third and fifth graders meeting standards. Fourth-grade math performs slightly better, and by sixth grade, proficiency jumps to nearly half the students. The pattern reverses somewhat in seventh and eighth grade, where math proficiency rises substantially. English language arts shows a different trajectory: elementary grades have moderate proficiency rates, dipping slightly in grades four and five before recovering in grades six through eight, where proficiency reaches very high levels. Science results in fifth and eighth grades hover around fifty percent. Eighth-grade social studies proficiency is lower, near forty percent. The district's overall proficiency index across all tested subjects and grades places it above the midpoint among Tom Green County's other districts.

One of the district's defining recent changes has been a physical transformation. In May 2022, voters approved a bond measure by an extremely narrow margin to fund a two-phase facilities modernization. An elementary annex opened in April 2024, and a new junior and high school building followed, replacing decades-old portable classrooms and addressing chronic facility failures including water damage and deteriorating infrastructure. This modernization comes with long-term tax obligations that families relocating to the area should understand. The district's per-pupil spending is in the upper range among county peers, reflecting both the bond impacts and the economics of serving a small enrollment across a full grade span.

Chronic absenteeism in Veribest ISD runs at a rate that places it in the top quartile among county districts, meaning absences are lower here than in most neighboring systems. The district offers a dedicated accelerated program alongside its traditional schools, suggesting some attention to differentiation for students above grade level. A graduation rate was not available in the provided data, so families with high school students may want to request that information directly from the district office.

The community itself sits in a region where housing remains relatively affordable, with median home values below state and national benchmarks, and rental costs manageable by many household profiles. The area's economic indicators show moderate unemployment and household incomes aligned with national medians.
