Meyersville El, Meyersville TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Meyersville El

Meyersville Elementary is a small PK-8 school serving a rural farming community in southern DeWitt County, about a short drive south of Cuero. The school sits in a dispersed settlement organized around a cluster of long-standing institutions, with the campus itself anchored beside a historic Lutheran church and near the general store that has served the area for generations. The town itself has experienced long-term population decline from its cotton-era peak, with the surrounding area now home to a modest population living in an agricultural landscape tied to farming and oil-and-gas activity.

The school enrollment is small, typical of its setting. Students progress through grades from pre-K through eighth grade here; high school students leave to attend Cuero High School. Because Meyersville ISD operates only this single campus, a parent choosing this school is choosing the entire district's educational pathway for the younger grades.

On state tests administered in the most recent school year, Meyersville Elementary's results show uneven performance across grades and subjects. In English language arts, the school performs more consistently, with older students (sixth through eighth grades) showing solid proficiency. Third graders also reach proficiency at a majority rate in ELA. Reading comprehension and writing appear to be relative strengths here. In mathematics, the picture is more fragmented. Sixth graders show the strongest proficiency, while third and fourth graders trail, and eighth graders show particularly low proficiency. Fifth and seventh grade math fall in the middle. Science results are available only for fifth and eighth grades; eighth graders perform better here than fifth graders. Social studies data come only from eighth grade, where about half the students meet proficiency.

Across all tested subjects and grade levels, Meyersville Elementary's overall proficiency index places it in the top quartile among the five school districts in DeWitt County, a meaningful position in this local comparison set. This suggests the school is performing above the median for its county peers, though the data are from a single year with no multi-year trend available.

The student population is predominantly white, with a much smaller representation of Hispanic, Black, and other racial and ethnic groups. About a third of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a moderate concentration of economic need in the school community. No public data on special education enrollment or English learner enrollment were available.

The community surrounding the school is car-dependent and rural, without public transit or walkable downtown streets. Housing values in the Meyersville ZIP code sit slightly above the state median but below the national average, with mortgage affordability somewhat favorable given the local income context. The broader economic base of DeWitt County rests on agriculture and oil-and-gas production tied to the Eagle Ford Shale, though no major recent development or growth specific to Meyersville itself was identified.

For families in this area, Meyersville Elementary offers a genuinely small-school environment with the continuity of housing within an established rural community. The English language arts instruction appears to be a relative strength. Math performance, particularly in the lower and highest grades tested, may be a topic a parent would want to explore further with the school. The single-campus district structure means eighth grade is the terminal point here, with transition to Cuero High School awaiting.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
