Haskell Consolidated Independent School District

The Haskell Consolidated Independent School District serves 544 students across three schools in Texas: Haskell Elementary (PK-5), Haskell J H (6-8), and Haskell High School (9-12), with the district earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 80th percentile statewide.

Haskell High School is the district's standout, boasting a 100% graduation rate, a 0% dropout rate, and a 4-star rating for three consecutive years. It significantly outperforms state averages in Algebra I (80% vs. 54%), English I Reading (72% vs. 55%), and U.S. History (82% vs. 70%). The high school also benefits from the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district at 7.2:1 and the highest per-student spending at $21,238, nearly double that of Haskell Elementary ($11,443). In contrast, Haskell J H excels in reading, with 7th-grade scores reaching 73.81% (well above the state's 51.69%), though it struggles with 8th-grade science (32.35% proficient vs. 46.25% state average). Haskell Elementary shows a notable anomaly in 5th-grade math, where scores hit 65% (vs. 47% state average), despite lower performance in 3rd and 4th-grade math.

Key metrics reveal a district serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 69-74% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch across all schools. Spending disparities are stark, with the high school investing far more per student than the elementary or middle school. A "science gap" emerges at the middle school level, but high school Biology scores rebound above state averages. Overall, Haskell High School leads in academic outcomes and resources, while Haskell J H shines in literacy, and Haskell Elementary demonstrates that targeted instruction can yield strong results even with tighter budgets.
