Summary:
Nixon-Smiley Consolidated Independent School District in Texas has a single high school, Nixon-Smiley High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's student population is diverse, with a majority of Hispanic students, and faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with over 80% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, Nixon-Smiley High School's performance is mixed, with proficiency rates on the STAAR EOC exams varying widely across different subject areas. While the school performs well in U.S. History, it struggles in Algebra I, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state average. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student and small class sizes, the academic outcomes suggest that the resources may not be fully translating into improved student achievement.
On a positive note, Nixon-Smiley High School has a high four-year graduation rate of 95.8%, which is higher than the state average, and a low dropout rate of 0.7%. However, the school's overall academic performance, particularly in core subjects like Algebra I, indicates a need for targeted interventions and support to help students succeed. By learning from higher-performing schools, both within the Nixon-Smiley Consolidated Independent School District and across the state, Nixon-Smiley High School can work to improve educational outcomes for its diverse student population.
