Comanche Independent School District (Isd)

The Comanche Independent School District (Isd) serves approximately 1,328 students across three schools—Comanche Elementary (PK-5), Jefferies J H (6-8), and Comanche High School (9-12)—in a rural Texas community, earning a 3-star district ranking (59th percentile) overall.

Comanche High School is the district’s standout performer, with a 4-star rating (76th percentile) and strong End-of-Course exam results that exceed state averages in Algebra I, English I, English II, and U.S. History. It also boasts a 92.9% graduation rate and a very low 0.3% dropout rate. However, Biology proficiency is a notable weakness at just 41.38%, far below the state’s 70.51%. Jefferies J H shows a mixed profile: it excels in 8th-grade Reading (69.07% proficient) and has an exceptional Algebra I acceleration program (75.76% proficient, well above the state average of 54.03%), but 7th-grade Mathematics is a critical concern, with only 7.41% of students proficient—a steep drop from the prior year and far below the state average of 29.41%. Comanche Elementary faces the most consistent challenges, with a declining 2-star rating (39th percentile) and test scores in both Reading and Mathematics generally below state averages, including just 38.83% proficiency in 3rd-grade Math.

Key takeaways for parents include the district’s strong high school performance and advanced math pipeline, but also significant inconsistencies across grade levels. The elementary school’s downward trend and the middle school’s math crisis suggest that academic success is not systemic but tied to specific grades or subjects. Resource allocation varies, with the high school spending the most per student ($11,439) and having the lowest student-teacher ratio (10.9:1), while the elementary school spends the least ($9,966) and has the highest ratio (13.6:1), which may influence outcomes. Overall, families should weigh the high school’s strengths against the need for targeted support in elementary and middle school math.
