Summary:
The city of Hamlin, Texas is home to two schools - Hamlin Collegiate Elementary and Hamlin Collegiate High School, both part of the Hamlin Collegiate Independent School District (Isd). While the district as a whole is ranked below average, the high school stands out with an exceptional 97.0% 4-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, significantly outperforming the state average. However, both schools struggle with academic performance, with students generally scoring below the state average on STAAR tests.
Hamlin Collegiate Elementary has a diverse student population, with 43.53% Hispanic and 5.17% African American students. Both schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 77.59% of elementary students and 60.22% of high school students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The schools also have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with 14.3 at the elementary level and 8.7 at the high school level.
Despite the district's overall low ranking, the data suggests that the schools in Hamlin are working to support their students, with the high school in particular excelling in areas like graduation and dropout rates. However, the academic challenges faced by both schools, likely exacerbated by the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, indicate a need for continued improvement and investment in the district's educational resources.
