Summary:
The city of Simms, Texas is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: James Bowie Elementary, James Bowie High School, and James Bowie Middle. These schools operate under the Simms Independent School District (Isd) and serve a predominantly white student population.
James Bowie High School stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Texas high schools and maintaining a 100% four-year graduation rate. The school excels in subjects like Biology, English I, and English II, with test scores well above the state average. In contrast, James Bowie Elementary and James Bowie Middle show mixed results, with some areas of strong performance, such as 7th-grade reading and Algebra I proficiency at the middle school, but also weaker areas like 4th-grade reading and 5th-grade science at the elementary level.
The data also reveals disparities in resource allocation, with James Bowie High School spending the most per student and having the lowest student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its success. Additionally, the district's lack of racial diversity across the schools is an area that could benefit from further examination and potential interventions to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
