Summary:
The Clyde Consolidated Independent School District serves approximately 1,392 students across four schools in Texas: two elementary schools (Clyde Elementary for PK-2 and Clyde Intermediate for grades 3-5), Clyde J H for grades 6-8, and Clyde High School for grades 9-12. The district holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 74th percentile among Texas districts, indicating solid, above-average performance.
Clyde High School is the district's standout performer, consistently exceeding state averages in all subjects with proficiency rates like 75.7% in Biology and 79.7% in English II, alongside a 97.3% graduation rate. Clyde J H excels in advanced math, with 100% of 8th graders taking Algebra I scoring proficient, though it struggles in standard 6th and 7th grade courses, often falling below state averages. Clyde Intermediate shows the most improvement, jumping from a 3-star to a 4-star rating, with 5th graders outperforming the state in reading (63.9% vs. 58.5%) and math (51.9% vs. 47.4%). Clyde Elementary faces the highest economic disadvantage rate at 51.74% and the largest class sizes (15.1:1 student-teacher ratio), presenting unique challenges for its youngest learners.
A key takeaway is the district's effective "Algebra I pipeline," where strong middle school math acceleration feeds into high school success. However, a noticeable dip in middle school performance for standard subjects suggests a need for targeted support in early middle school. Resource allocation also raises questions, as the school with the highest need (Clyde Elementary) has lower spending per student ($10,238) and larger classes, while the high school with lower need spends more ($13,124) and has smaller classes. Overall, the district builds success over time, with students progressing from a high-need elementary to a high-performing high school, though the middle school standard curriculum remains a weak link.
