Summary:
The Hamlin Collegiate Independent School District (ISD) operates two schools - Hamlin Collegiate Elementary and Hamlin Collegiate High School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and is ranked 667 out of 961 districts in Texas, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Hamlin Collegiate High School stands out for its impressive 97.0% 4-year graduation rate and low 0.5% dropout rate, indicating strong student support and success in helping students complete their education. In contrast, the high school lags behind state averages on many STAAR and EOC exams, suggesting room for improvement in academic achievement as students progress through the district. Hamlin Collegiate Elementary, on the other hand, excels in 6th grade math proficiency, with 66.67% of students meeting or exceeding standards, significantly higher than the state average of 37.68%.
Both schools serve economically disadvantaged populations, with free and reduced-price lunch rates exceeding 66%. While the high school spends more per student ($16,714) compared to the elementary school ($12,467), the reasons for this difference are unclear. The smaller class sizes at the high school, with an 11.0 student-teacher ratio compared to 14.6 at the elementary, may be a strength, but the academic performance data suggests there is still room for improvement across the district.
