Summary:

The Calallen Independent School District (Isd) serves approximately 3,745 students across six schools—four elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school—and holds a solid 4-star rating, ranking in the 77th percentile among Texas districts.

Calallen High School stands out as the district's academic leader, consistently earning a 4-star rating with strong STAAR scores in Biology (87% proficient) and English, plus a 93% graduation rate. Calallen Middle is exceptional for math acceleration, with 100% of its 8th graders scoring proficient on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam for two consecutive years—far exceeding state averages. Among elementary schools, Calallen West Intermediate is a consistent top performer, ranking in the 81st-86th percentile with 4-star ratings and math proficiency rates (e.g., 71% in 5th grade) well above state norms. In contrast, Wilma Magee Intermediate is a significant concern, earning only a 2-star rating and lagging behind district and state averages in all subjects, such as just 41% of 3rd graders proficient in reading. Calallen East Elementary has the highest economic disadvantage rate (77% free/reduced lunch) but serves only early grades (PK-2) and lacks published test scores, while Calallen Wood River Elementary offers the lowest student-teacher ratio (12.4:1).

A key takeaway is the stark performance gap between the two intermediate schools: Calallen West excels despite lower spending ($9,718 per student), while Wilma Magee struggles with higher poverty rates (66% free/reduced lunch) and lower outcomes. The district's middle school shows a weakness in 6th-grade math (only 26% proficient), yet its ability to later achieve 100% Algebra I proficiency highlights effective remediation. Overall, spending does not directly correlate with success—Calallen High spends the most ($12,221 per student) and performs well, but Calallen West spends the least and still tops elementary rankings. This suggests that instructional quality and targeted support, not just funding, drive results in this district.
