Summary:
Nash, Texas is home to a single elementary school, Nash Elementary, which serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade as part of the Texarkana Independent School District (Isd).
As the only school in the city, Nash Elementary stands out for its strong upward academic trajectory. In just two years, the school improved from a 2-star rating (31st percentile) to a 3-star rating (52nd percentile) in state rankings, a significant achievement given that nearly 90% of its 667 students are economically disadvantaged. The school consistently outperforms its district average in both Reading and Mathematics across all tested grades. However, there is a clear gap between subjects: Reading proficiency rates (ranging from 45.56% to 65.79% in 2025-2026) are notably higher than Math proficiency rates (22.45% to 47.67%), with 4th-grade Math being a particular concern at just 22.45% proficiency. A positive pattern is the strong performance of 5th graders, who achieve the highest scores in both Reading (65.79%) and Math (47.06%), suggesting the school's cumulative instruction is especially effective by the final elementary year.
Key metrics include a student-teacher ratio of 15.4:1 and per-student spending of $8,180. The school's Spanish language program shows challenges, with 5th-grade scores dropping dramatically to 22.73% in Reading and 0% in Math. Overall, Nash Elementary is a school on the rise, efficiently using its resources to achieve meaningful academic gains despite serving a high-need population. Parents can expect a school that is improving rapidly, with strong reading instruction and a need for targeted support in mathematics, particularly in the middle grades.
