Clifton Independent School District (Isd)

The Clifton Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates three schools: one elementary, one middle, and one high school. The district serves a diverse student population, with a majority of White students and significant Hispanic representation across the schools.

Clifton High School stands out as a top performer, ranking 541 out of 1,987 Texas high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school boasts an impressive 98.4% 4-year graduation rate and outperforms the state average in several STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, including Biology, English I Reading, and U.S. History. Clifton Elementary also demonstrates strong performance, with students exceeding the state average in 5th-grade STAAR Science and Reading.

While the schools in the Clifton ISD show overall positive results, there are areas for improvement. The district could focus on enhancing Mathematics proficiency, particularly in the 3rd-4th grades at the elementary level and 6th-7th grades at the middle school level, where proficiency rates lag behind the state averages. Additionally, the district maintains relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 11:1 at Clifton High School to 12.6:1 at Clifton Elementary, indicating a focus on personalized attention for students.
