High Schools in Hamlin Collegiate Independent School District (Isd)

The Hamlin Collegiate Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single high school, Hamlin Collegiate High School, which serves grades 7 through 12 with a total enrollment of 171 students. The district is ranked 659th out of 951 districts in Texas, placing it in the 31st percentile and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school operates with a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.4:1 and has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 69.01% qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Hamlin Collegiate High School shows a clear strength in Biology, where 72.73% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, outperforming the state average of 70.51%. However, the school faces a significant challenge in 7th Grade Mathematics, where only 6.67% of students were proficient, compared to the state average of 29.41%. The school boasts a relatively strong graduation rate of 88.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.0%, which contrasts sharply with low proficiency rates in core subjects like Algebra I (25% proficient) and English I Reading (40% proficient). This suggests that while students are staying in school and graduating, many may not be meeting grade-level academic standards.

Despite an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio and spending $16,714 per student, the school's overall academic proficiency is below state averages in nearly every subject, indicating that the challenges faced by the student body may be outweighing the benefits of small class sizes and high spending. There is also a dramatic disparity in math performance between grade levels, with 7th grade math critically low and 8th grade math much closer to the state average. The school's performance is not stable year-over-year, with subjects like U.S. History dropping from 61.76% to 46.67% proficiency, while English II Reading improved from 40.63% to 50%. This volatility, combined with the small student population, means that the performance of just a few students can significantly swing the percentages.
