Summary:
The Hawley Independent School District (Isd) is a small, unified district in Texas serving approximately 773 students across four schools: Hawley Elementary, Hawley Middle, Hawley High School, and Hawley Center For Accelerated Learning. The district ranks in the 58th percentile statewide, earning a 3-star rating, but performance varies widely between schools.
Hawley High School is the district's standout, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 71st-81st percentile over the last three years. It boasts a near-perfect 97.7% graduation rate, a 0% dropout rate, and End-of-Course exam scores well above state averages, especially in U.S. History and Biology. This success is likely supported by an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 5.9:1. In contrast, Hawley Elementary is the district's weakest link, with volatile state rankings dropping to the 21st percentile in 2024-2025. Its proficiency rates in Reading and Math are below state averages in every grade level tested, creating a pipeline problem for students entering middle school already behind.
Hawley Middle shows dramatic inconsistency: while 100% of its 8th graders taking Algebra I passed the EOC, only 14.04% of 7th graders were proficient in Math, suggesting a bifurcated student body where advanced students excel but others struggle. The tiny Hawley Center For Accelerated Learning, with just 6 students, is a critical asset—its 0% dropout rate shows the district's commitment to at-risk students, preventing dropouts and supporting the main high school's strong statistics. Overall, the district offers a high-performing high school but faces significant challenges at the elementary and middle school levels.
