Summary:
The Coahoma Independent School District (Isd) serves approximately 1,084 students across three schools—Coahoma Elementary (PK-5), Coahoma J H (6-8), and Coahoma High School (9-12)—in a rural West Texas community, earning a district-wide ranking of 559 out of 951 Texas districts (41st percentile, 2 stars).
Coahoma J H stands out as the district’s strongest performer, ranking in the 67th percentile (3 stars) and showing the most improvement from the previous year. Its 7th and 8th graders significantly outperform state averages in Reading (65% and 65.75% proficient vs. 54% and 58.7% statewide), and 8th graders also excel in Math (57.1% vs. 47.2% state). In contrast, Coahoma Elementary consistently scores below state averages across all subjects, though its 5th graders come closest in Reading (42.7% vs. 58.5% state). Coahoma High School boasts perfect graduation and dropout rates (100% and 0%), but its academic performance is mixed—outperforming the state in Biology and English I Reading while lagging in Algebra I and U.S. History.
A key takeaway is the dramatic turnaround in Reading proficiency between schools: 5th graders at the elementary score 42.7%, but by 6th grade at the middle school that rises to 48.1%, then jumps to 65% in 7th and 8th grades—suggesting highly effective middle school instruction. Math remains a district-wide challenge except for 8th grade, which is a bright spot. Interestingly, the middle school achieves the strongest results despite having the lowest per-student spending ($10,066), while the high school spends the most ($12,325) but doesn’t lead academically, indicating that factors like teaching quality and school culture may matter more than funding alone.
