Westhoff Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Westhoff Isd

Westhoff ISD is a small district serving kindergarten through eighth grade in DeWitt County, Texas. The district operates a single elementary school serving a combined student body drawn from the towns of Cuero and Yorktown.

The district enrolls a modest number of students across all grades served, with representation fairly distributed from early childhood through middle school. Racially and ethnically, the student population is roughly evenly split between white and Hispanic students, with a smaller share of Black students. Data on free or reduced-price lunch eligibility, English learner status, and special education enrollment were not available in the records reviewed.

On state testing, Westhoff's performance is mixed. In English language arts across grades three through eight, most grades show proficiency rates above the midpoint, with fourth grade students demonstrating very strong performance. Fifth, seventh, and eighth grades all show solid results as well. Third grade and sixth grade show lower proficiency, particularly in third grade where roughly half the students tested meet proficiency standards. In mathematics, third grade is notably weak, while fourth and eighth grades perform strongly. Fifth through seventh grades show moderate performance in math, with sixth grade at the lower end of that range. Science testing occurs in fifth and eighth grade only; fifth grade shows proficiency around the midpoint while eighth grade is stronger. Eighth grade social studies proficiency is notably low. Taken together, the performance pattern suggests strength in upper-middle grades and some vulnerability in third grade and certain subjects at the sixth-grade level.

When compared against the other three districts in DeWitt County, Westhoff's overall proficiency index places it in the top quartile. The district also reports an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate, well below the county median. Per-pupil spending is notably higher than the county median, in the upper range among county districts.

The housing market in the area served by the district shows modest recent decline in values. Homes in the district's service area are priced below the state benchmark, making housing relatively affordable. Mortgage rates and unemployment remain moderate locally.

No recent major changes to district operations or strategic priorities could be confirmed through available sources. A parent considering this district would be choosing a small, place-based school system with strong attendance culture, solid upper-elementary through middle-grade performance in most areas, but with a soft spot in third-grade mathematics and sixth-grade mathematics and language arts that may warrant a closer conversation with school staff about curriculum and support.
