Schools in Yoakum ISD · DeWitt County

Cuero, Yoakum, and Yorktown anchor DeWitt County's six school districts, which together serve 12 ranked public schools across a stretch of South Texas ranch country. The standout here is Westhoff Elementary, a small rural campus that ranks in the 98th percentile statewide — a remarkable result for a community most maps barely register. Meyersville Elementary similarly punches well above its size at the 87th percentile. Only two schools reach the top quartile statewide, so the picture is uneven, but those two peaks are genuinely impressive and worth a close look for families weighing the county's options.
