Summary:
The city of Shallowater, Texas is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Shallowater Independent School District (ISD). These schools consistently perform well, with Shallowater High School and Shallowater Middle School ranking in the top 25% and 15% of their respective categories in Texas, respectively.
Shallowater High School stands out with a 99.2% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average, and strong performance on STAAR end-of-course exams, particularly in English II Reading and U.S. History. Shallowater Middle School also impresses with exceptional performance on the Algebra I end-of-course exam and high proficiency rates in reading across all grade levels. Shallowater Intermediate School and Shallowater Elementary School also perform well, with proficiency rates above the state average in both reading and math.
While the Shallowater ISD schools demonstrate a commitment to providing quality education, the district may benefit from examining issues of equity and diversity. The student population is predominantly white, with Hispanic students making up the second-largest racial group. Additionally, the higher spending per student at the high school level compared to the middle and elementary schools suggests a focus on supporting the academic needs of older students, which may impact the resources available to younger students.
