Summary:
The McCamey Independent School District (Isd) is a small, rural district in Texas serving 484 students across three schools: McCamey Pri (elementary), McCamey Middle, and McCamey High School. The district ranks in the bottom 7% of Texas schools, with an overall proficiency rate of about 33.5% compared to the state average of 51.5%.
Among the schools, McCamey Middle stands out for its extreme highs and lows: it achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I End-of-Course exams in 2025-2026, yet had 0% proficiency in 7th Grade Math the same year. McCamey High School shows a relative strength in U.S. History, with 64.52% proficiency in 2025-2026, though performance is highly volatile year-to-year. McCamey Pri is the most consistently low-performing school, with proficiency rates ranging from 15% to 43% across subjects and never earning a star in its ranking history.
Key takeaways include that the district spends significantly more per student than the state average—$21,113 at the high school—yet academic results remain in the bottom 10%, suggesting challenges beyond funding or class size. Science is a critical weakness, with only 5.41% of 5th graders and 15.63% of 8th graders proficient in 2024-2025. The elementary school's weak foundation (15-40% proficiency) likely contributes to ongoing struggles in later grades, while the high school's small enrollment of 144 students makes its performance swing dramatically from year to year.
