Mission Consolidated Independent School District

The Mission Consolidated Independent School District in Texas operates 22 schools, including 15 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 3 high schools, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The district's schools exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like Mission Collegiate High School ranking among the top high schools in the state, while others struggle to meet state standards.

Mission Collegiate High School is a shining example, ranking in the top 158 high schools in Texas and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school excels in STAAR EOC exams, with over 80% of students proficient or better in subjects like Biology, English I/II, and U.S. History. Additionally, the school boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 93.2% and a low dropout rate of 0.3%. In contrast, the district's overall performance on STAAR exams is generally below the state averages, with some elementary and middle schools struggling to reach proficiency levels, particularly in Mathematics.

The data also reveals significant disparities in school performance within the district. While Mims Elementary and Bryan Elementary rank among the top elementary schools in Texas, many other schools in the district face challenges. The district's high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.71% to 97.47% across the schools, suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance that the district may need to address through targeted interventions and resource allocation.
