Woodville Intermediate serves grades three through five in a small school setting in Tyler County, Texas. The school is part of Woodville ISD, which recently completed a major facilities consolidation. Beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, Woodville Intermediate merged with Wheat Elementary to form a single new Woodville Elementary Campus, uniting all PreK through fifth-grade students under one roof. This shift means students no longer move between separate buildings during the school day, a practical change affecting daily logistics and learning time for families in the intermediate grades.
The current enrollment is small for an intermediate school, with students distributed across third, fourth, and fifth grades. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting economic conditions in the area. The student body is diverse, with a white plurality, along with meaningful representation of Black, Hispanic, and other students.
State assessment data from 2024-25 reveals proficiency gaps across tested subjects and grade levels. In math, third grade shows the strongest performance, with roughly half of students meeting or exceeding the proficiency threshold; by fourth and fifth grade, fewer students achieve proficiency, with fifth-grade math performance dropping further. English language arts results follow a similar pattern, with third-grade performance somewhat higher than grades four and five. Science was tested only in fifth grade and shows the lowest proficiency of any subject. When looked at across the school as a whole, the proportion of students reaching "meets" or "masters" levels stands well below half in every subject area. A parent may want to look into further what the school's strategy is to strengthen proficiency in math and reading, particularly in the upper intermediate grades where performance dips notably.
The school sits in the bottom quartile for overall proficiency relative to other districts in Tyler County, based on a comparison of tested subjects and grade levels. This is a concrete signal that academic performance here trails the county median and calls for attention to instructional practice and support systems.
The broader district context includes real infrastructure gains. The bond-approved facilities investment brought a modern, consolidated elementary campus online in 2025-26, designed with safety, security, and instructional efficiency in mind. The district also expanded career and technical education at the high school, offering vocational pathways in welding, automotive work, construction, culinary arts, health sciences, and agriculture. These moves suggest a district investing in both facilities and post-secondary readiness, even as elementary academic outcomes remain a point needing focus.
Housing in the Woodville area is relatively affordable compared to state and national benchmarks, and economic conditions show steady employment and median household income near or slightly above national levels. For families considering the area, the combination of lower housing costs, new school facilities, and a small-school environment may hold appeal, though academic performance data warrants direct conversation with the school about curriculum, assessment practices, and instructional support before enrolling.
