About Yoakum Int
Yoakum Int serves 296 students in grades three through five in Yoakum, Texas. The school earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — a mark that places it squarely in exceptional territory by Texas standards. Its 11.0-to-1 student-teacher ratio gives students more one-on-one time with their teachers than most public campuses in the state can offer.
The statewide numbers put this school's performance in sharp relief. Yoakum Int ranks #65 of 4,678 elementary schools in Texas — a position fewer than 2% of elementary campuses statewide can claim. Academic performance scores an 8.8 out of 10.
Growth — the measure of how much students advance each year relative to their starting point — scores a 9.2, matching the overall composite. That alignment between academic and growth scores signals consistent, system-wide performance rather than a single strong metric carrying the rest. Across all 8,547 Texas public schools, Yoakum Int lands at #92, outperforming 99% of campuses statewide.
Within Yoakum, it ranks second of five schools. For families comparing elementary options, few Texas campuses can match this record — high marks across both academic and growth measures, and rankings that hold up against nearly 4,700 elementary peers across the state.
