Summary:
Hoxie Community Schools has two listed schools serving 432 students from prekindergarten through grade 12: Hoxie Elementary serves PK–6, and Hoxie High serves grades 7–12. In 2025–2026, both schools were above state proficiency rates in all-grades ELA, math, and science. The most important contrast is science: the schools’ results went in opposite directions over time, leaving High well above the state and Elementary only slightly above it.
Hoxie Elementary stands out in ELA, with 52% proficiency compared with 48% at Hoxie High; both exceed the state’s 46%. High leads in math, 48% to 46%, and science, 52% to 40%; both schools are above state rates in those subjects, too. The strongest selected grade-level results include High eighth-grade science at 69%, 30 points above the state, and Elementary sixth-grade math at 53%, 12 points above. The clearest low result is Elementary third-grade math at 24%, 19 points below the state.
Results over time show why the science contrast matters: Elementary science fell 21 points from 2024–2025, while High science rose 13 points; the state rate fell 3 points. ELA and math school averages each declined about 2 points as state results rose, narrowing the schools’ average leads by about 4 points in each subject. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings also fell from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026: Elementary from the 76th to the 54th percentile, and High from the 89th to the 59th; both went from four stars to three. Chronic absenteeism is another difference: 35% at Elementary and 22% at High, compared with 18% statewide. The schools’ free/reduced-lunch rates were 38% and 33%, respectively; these figures provide context, not an explanation for achievement.
