Summary:
The city of Nevada, Texas is home to 4 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Community Independent School District (ISD). While the district as a whole is ranked 534 out of 968 in Texas and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
McClendon Elementary stands out for its high percentage of Hispanic students (62.84%) and stronger academic performance on STAAR tests compared to the district and state averages, particularly in reading and mathematics for grades 3-5. This may be attributed to its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1. Meanwhile, Nesmith Elementary has the highest percentage of White (47.27%) and Asian (4.04%) students, and its academic performance is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, especially in reading for grades 3-5. Nesmith Elementary also has a low student-teacher ratio of 14.2:1.
The district's Community High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.3% and a low dropout rate of 0.2%. However, the district's overall STAAR performance is below the state average, with the exception of U.S. History, where the district's performance is higher than the state. The schools in the district also vary in their spending per student, from $9,096 at McClendon Elementary to $10,959 at Community High School.
