Summary:
The three public schools in Ozona, Texas—Ozona Elementary (PK-5), Ozona Middle (6-8), and Ozona High School (9-12)—serve a small, rural community within the Crockett County Consolidated Central School District, which has a total enrollment of 621 students and a high rate of economic disadvantage.
Each school has distinct strengths. Ozona High School stands out for its perfect 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, along with strong science proficiency (81.82% in Biology, well above the state average). Ozona Middle is notable for dramatic improvement and math excellence, with 83.67% of 8th graders proficient in Math—nearly double the state average—and a steadily rising state ranking. Ozona Elementary shows mixed performance, excelling in 4th-grade Math (68.97% proficient) but experiencing a concerning 28-percentile-point drop in its state ranking from the 69th to the 41st percentile, driven by a sharp decline in 5th-grade Reading and Math scores.
Key metrics include very low student-teacher ratios (7.7:1 to 10.6:1) and above-average spending per student ($12,735 to $15,732), yet results are inconsistent. A district-wide weakness is Social Studies, where all schools underperform the state average, with only 8.51% of 8th graders proficient. The high school’s success is subject-dependent, excelling in Biology and U.S. History but struggling in Algebra I and English I. The middle school’s 8th-grade math performance is an outlier of excellence, suggesting a highly effective teacher or curriculum that could be replicated. The elementary school’s 5th-grade decline contrasts with the middle school’s strong 6th-grade results, indicating a potential transition issue or an anomalous cohort.
