Summary:
The Clint Independent School District (Isd) in Texas includes 14 schools serving elementary, middle, and high school students, and it ranks in the 47th percentile statewide, reflecting a district with significant economic challenges and a wide range of school performance.
The standout school is the Clint Independent School District (Isd) Early College Academy, a high school that ranks in the 90th percentile with a perfect 100% graduation rate and exceptional test scores in Biology, English I, and U.S. History, far outpacing all other schools. In contrast, Horizon Middle is the lowest-performing school, ranking in the 28th percentile with severe struggles in math, such as only 11.27% of 7th graders proficient. Among elementary schools, Montana Vista Elementary is the top performer, ranking in the 71st percentile with strong 3rd-grade reading and math scores, while Wm David Surratt Elementary showed the most improvement, jumping from the 32nd to the 60th percentile. The district-wide free or reduced lunch rate averages 85.5%, with Carroll T Welch Elementary having the highest rate at 94.08% and the Early College Academy the lowest at 68.28%.
A key finding is the "Algebra I anomaly" in middle schools, where all four—Ricardo Estrada Middle, East Montana Middle, Clint Junior High School, and Horizon Middle—have Algebra I proficiency rates dramatically above state averages, yet their general grade-level math scores are below average, indicating a systemic challenge. Additionally, several elementary schools like Frank Macias Elementary and Red Sands Elementary excel in Spanish-language STAAR tests, suggesting effective bilingual programs. The "Horizon" schools—Horizon High School and Horizon Middle—are both underperformers, with Horizon High having the lowest graduation rate (90.5%) and highest dropout rate (2.5%), pointing to a need for targeted intervention in that feeder pattern.
