Best Public Schools in Nixon, TX


Summary:

The Nixon, Texas school district consists of two schools, Nixon-Smiley Middle School and Nixon-Smiley High School, which serve a predominantly Hispanic student population from low-income families. While the district's graduation and dropout rates are positive, both schools consistently underperform compared to state averages on academic metrics, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address these challenges.

The data indicates that Nixon-Smiley Middle School and High School have STAAR/STAAR EOC test scores that are generally below the state average, with the exception of a few subject areas. The district's Algebra I EOC scores are particularly low. Despite the relatively low academic performance, the schools have a student-teacher ratio slightly better than the state average and receive above-average per-student funding, suggesting that factors beyond just resources may be contributing to the underperformance.

Overall, the Nixon-Smiley Consolidated Independent School District faces challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population. The district should consider implementing targeted strategies and interventions to address the academic performance gaps, while also leveraging its available resources and funding to support student success and ensure that all students are well-prepared for post-secondary opportunities.
