Summary:
The Collinsville Independent School District (Isd) in Texas serves approximately 600 students across two schools: Collinsville Elementary (Pre-K through 5th grade) and Collinsville High School (6th through 12th grade). The district holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 65th percentile statewide, with a moderate level of economic disadvantage as about 45% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Collinsville High School is the district's standout performer, acting as its academic engine. It boasts an excellent 96.8% graduation rate and a very low 0.4% dropout rate. The high school significantly outperforms state averages in English and Biology end-of-course exams, and its state ranking has jumped 13 percentile points in one year to the 69th percentile. In contrast, Collinsville Elementary shows a more mixed performance. While it has improved its ranking to the 57th percentile, it struggles with inconsistency, particularly a "5th-grade slump" where reading and science scores fall well below state averages, even as 5th-grade math is a clear strength. A notable concern is a historical weakness in middle school mathematics (grades 6-8), though recent scores show improvement.
A key takeaway is the significant resource disparity between the two schools. The high school spends 35% more per student ($13,499 vs. $9,967) and has a much lower student-teacher ratio (11.1:1 vs. 14.7:1), which likely contributes to its stronger academic outcomes. Overall, the district is on a positive upward trend, with both schools showing year-over-year improvement in test scores and rankings, suggesting recent instructional changes are having a beneficial impact.
