Mathis Independent School District (Isd)

The Mathis Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates four schools: two elementary schools (Mathis Elementary and Mathis Intermediate), one middle school (Mathis Middle), and one high school (Mathis High School). The district is ranked 595 out of 961 districts in Texas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Mathis High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.8% and outperforming the district and state averages in several STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exam proficiency rates, particularly in English I Reading, English II Reading, and U.S. History. Meanwhile, Mathis Middle School excels in STAAR EOC Algebra I proficiency, with 81.82% of students scoring proficient or better, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The middle school also performs well in 6th grade STAAR Reading, with 56.84% proficiency, above the district and state averages.

However, the district faces broader challenges, as evidenced by the relatively low test scores and high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.21% at Mathis High School to 89.59% at Mathis Elementary. This raises concerns about equity and the ability of the district to provide equal educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their economic background.
