Summary:
The city of McCamey, Texas, is home to 3 public schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the McCamey Independent School District (Isd). While the schools face socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the data reveals some standout performance, particularly at the high school level.
McCamey High School stands out with the highest 4-year graduation rate at 92.3% and the lowest dropout rate at 0.6%. The high school also outperforms the district and state averages on several STAAR EOC exams, including English I Reading, English II Reading, and Biology. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in McCamey struggle to meet state averages on STAAR tests, suggesting a disparity in academic performance between the grade levels.
Across the district, the student population is predominantly Hispanic, ranging from 75.16% to 80.42% of the student body. The schools also face significant socioeconomic challenges, with 58.74% to 75.6% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While per-student spending varies, with McCamey High School spending the most at $21,113 per student, the district may need to explore ways to allocate resources more effectively to support the lower-performing schools and ensure more equitable educational opportunities for all students.
