Van Alstyne High School Scored a 96. The District's Elementary Schools Scored in the 70s.

Van Alstyne ISD has five campuses. Two of them earned an A, three earned a C, and none earned a B.

The district's overall 2026 rating from the Texas Education Agency is a B with a score of 87, one of the stronger district scores in Grayson County. The distribution behind it is unusually split.

The two ends

Van Alstyne High School posted a 96, among the highest campus scores anywhere in the county. Van Alstyne Junior High followed at 91. Both earned an A.

The other three campuses sit 12 or more points lower: Van Alstyne Middle School at 79, John and Nelda Partin Elementary at 78 and Bob and Lola Sanford Elementary at 73, all C ratings.

The domains

The district scored 88 in student achievement, a B, and 84 in closing the gaps, also a B.

School progress is the softer number at 73, a C, with academic growth also at 73. As in several nearby districts, the measure of year-over-year improvement lags the measure of raw performance.

A small district with a clear divide

Van Alstyne ISD enrolls 2,856 students across five campuses. At that scale, a single campus moves the district average substantially, and the high school's 96 is doing real work in the overall score.

The gap between a 96 and a 73 inside one small district is the most striking feature of this report, and it falls along a clean line: the older the students, the higher the campus rating.
