Summary:
The Caddo Mills Independent School District (Isd) is a small, unified district in Texas serving approximately 3,073 students across five campuses, including two elementary schools (PK-4), two middle schools (grades 5-6 and 7-8), and one high school (9-12), and it holds a strong 4-star rating, ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide.
Standout schools in the district include Caddo Mills High School, which is the academic leader with a 4-star rating, a near-perfect 97.9% graduation rate, and exceptional test scores in Biology, English I, and English II that significantly outperform state averages. In contrast, Caddo Mills Middle is a math powerhouse, with 92.13% of its 8th graders proficient in Algebra I—nearly double the state average—though its standard 8th-grade math scores lag behind. The two elementary schools are on diverging paths: Kathryn Griffis Elementary remains stable and strong with a consistent 4-star rating, while Frances And Jeannette Lee Elementary has experienced a dramatic decline, dropping from the 88th to the 64th percentile in two years, with its 4th-grade Reading score plummeting from 58.12% to 40.26%.
Key metrics reveal a district with moderate economic diversity (27-39% free/reduced lunch), favorable student-teacher ratios (12.6 to 15.4), and spending per student ranging from $8,908 at Caddo Mills Middle to $11,232 at the high school. An interesting finding is the "Algebra I anomaly": while Caddo Mills Middle excels in advanced math, Caddo Mills Intermediate and the high school struggle with grade-level math, with the high school's Algebra I score being the only subject below state average. Additionally, the district shows consistent excellence in Biology and English Language Arts across all campuses, but the decline at Lee Elementary and the weak middle school math scores (outside of Algebra) are critical areas for review, suggesting that resource allocation and instructional strategy matter more than raw spending.
