Summary:
The Monahans-Wickett-Pyote Independent School District (Isd) serves approximately 2,181 students across six schools in a small, unified Texas district, including three elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools.
The district's standout is Walker J H, which achieved a 3-star rating and a remarkable 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam for two consecutive years, far exceeding district and state averages. In contrast, Parkway Elementary, the largest school with 646 students, saw a significant decline from a 2-star to a 1-star rating, with only 20.51% of 3rd graders proficient in math. Monahans Educational Center boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate for its small 12th-grade class of 8 students, though its per-student spending of $40,903 is nearly four times the district average. Monahans High School maintains a strong 96.5% graduation rate and low 0.6% dropout rate, with stable performance near state averages, while Tatom Elementary has a historical track record of 3-star ratings despite lower spending.
Key metrics reveal a district ranked in the 34th percentile statewide with a 2-star rating, facing high economic disadvantage with an average 62% free/reduced lunch rate. Elementary math is a district-wide crisis, with no elementary grade at Parkway Elementary achieving even 36% proficiency, while Walker J H's Algebra I success highlights a potential "drop-off" in math instruction between 8th and 9th grade. Spending disparities are stark, with George Cullender Kind spending $14,926 per student and Tatom Elementary spending $10,301, yet performance does not correlate with spending. The district's high school performance is mixed but stable, with Biology as a relative strength and U.S. History as a notable weakness.
