Summary:
The city of Simms, Texas is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: James Bowie Elementary, James Bowie High School, and James Bowie Middle. These schools, part of the Simms Independent School District (Isd), demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement.
James Bowie High School stands out as a top performer, ranking 535 out of 1,961 Texas high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, while spending $14,006 per student, the highest among the three schools. In contrast, James Bowie Elementary and James Bowie Middle have demonstrated strong academic performance, outperforming state and district averages in STAAR Reading and Mathematics proficiency.
Despite these strengths, the schools in Simms, Texas face challenges in terms of racial diversity, with a predominantly white student population. Additionally, the distribution of resources across the district, as evidenced by the higher spending per student at the high school, may warrant further examination to ensure equitable access to educational opportunities for all students. Nonetheless, the progress shown by James Bowie Elementary, moving up in the statewide rankings, suggests that the district is taking steps to improve the quality of education for its students.
