Best Public Schools in May, TX

Summary:

The city of May, Texas is home to two schools - May High School and May Elementary, both part of the May Independent School District (Isd). While May High School stands out for its exceptional graduation rates and strong performance in U.S. History, May Elementary faces declining academic achievement, particularly in reading and science, compared to state averages.

May High School boasts an impressive 95.2% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's students excel in U.S. History, with 88.24% scoring proficient or better, far exceeding the state average of 69.1%. In contrast, May Elementary's math performance is a bright spot, with 63.16% of 5th graders and 50% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better on the STAAR Math test, well above the state averages.

However, the data also reveals concerning trends. May Elementary's statewide ranking has dropped from 1,563 out of 4,581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 2,214 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, suggesting a need for intervention. Additionally, there is a significant disparity in test scores between the two schools, particularly in reading and science, indicating a lack of consistency in the educational experience across the district. Socioeconomic factors, such as the higher percentage of free/reduced-price lunch recipients at May Elementary, may also be contributing to the school's lower academic performance.
