Summary:
The city of Mineral Wells, Texas is home to 4 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Mineral Wells Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 785 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the standout schools, Mineral Wells J H (middle school) has the highest STAAR EOC proficiency rates in Algebra I and English I Reading, as well as the lowest dropout rate at 0%. In contrast, Mineral Wells Academy, the alternative high school, has the lowest student enrollment and the lowest STAAR EOC proficiency rates, but maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.3%.
Overall, the schools in the Mineral Wells ISD struggle academically, with proficiency rates in reading and math generally below state averages, especially in middle and high school grades. This is likely due to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 73-79% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across all schools. While the district has relatively low student-teacher ratios, this has not translated into higher academic achievement, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve educational outcomes for the diverse student population in Mineral Wells.
