Summary:
The 75426 zip code area is home to two schools - Cheatham Elementary and Clarksville Middle and High School, both of which serve a predominantly non-white, high-poverty student population. Unfortunately, these schools are struggling academically, with both consistently performing well below state averages on standardized tests.
Cheatham Elementary is ranked in the bottom 3% of Texas elementary schools, with proficiency rates 20-30 percentage points below state levels in reading, math, and science. The school has a very high percentage of students (92.65%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. Similarly, Clarksville Middle and High School is ranked in the bottom 15-20% of Texas high schools, with STAAR proficiency rates well below state averages across multiple subjects.
Despite the academic challenges, Clarksville Middle and High School maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88% and a low dropout rate of 2.1%. This suggests the school may be providing some level of support to help students complete their education, even if they are not achieving proficiency on state assessments. The significant racial/ethnic disparities in the student populations, with a majority of non-white students, also warrant further investigation into potential equity and access issues that may be impacting these schools within the Clarksville Independent School District (Isd).
