Summary:
The city of Collinsville, Texas, is served by the small, unified Collinsville Independent School District (Isd), which contains just two schools—Collinsville Elementary (serving PK-5) and Collinsville High School (serving 6-12)—and enrolls about 600 students total in a close-knit community setting.
Collinsville High School is the clear standout, significantly outperforming state averages in Biology (80.56% proficient), English I Reading (73.68%), and English II Reading (75.47%). It also boasts a very high 96.8% graduation rate and an extremely low 0.4% dropout rate, with a state ranking that has improved from the 50th to the 69th percentile over three years. In contrast, Collinsville Elementary shows more mixed results, with strong 5th-grade math scores (61.11% vs. 47.38% state) but weaker 5th-grade reading (44.44%) and science (21.15%) scores. A notable "middle school slump" appears at the High School, where 8th-grade math proficiency was just 7.41% in one year, though students rebound strongly by Algebra I. The district's 3-star rating reflects this performance gap between the two schools.
Key metrics reveal that the High School spends significantly more per student ($13,499 vs. $9,967) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (11.1:1 vs. 14.7:1), likely contributing to its academic success. Both schools serve a moderate level of economic disadvantage, with about 44-46% of students receiving free or reduced lunch. A district-wide weakness appears in science and social studies, as both schools struggle with 5th-grade science and 8th-grade social studies scores. Because the district has only two schools, year-over-year test scores can swing dramatically due to small class sizes, making single-year comparisons less reliable than in larger districts.
