Summary:

The New Home Independent School District (Isd) is a small, high-performing district in Texas serving approximately 708 students across two schools: New Home Elementary (grades PK-5) and New Home School (grades 6-12). The district ranks in the top 10% of all Texas school districts (91st percentile) with a 5-star rating, offering a close-knit educational environment with a very low student-teacher ratio of 13.65:1.

New Home School stands out as the district's flagship institution, achieving exceptional academic results. It boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. In the 2025-2026 school year, the high school posted world-class proficiency rates on End-of-Course exams, with 91.43% of students proficient in Biology and 91.67% in English I Reading—dramatically exceeding state averages. The school also shows strong recovery in math, with 75.47% proficiency in Algebra I, far above the state average of 54.03%. However, the school's state ranking has been volatile, moving from the 90th percentile down to the 68th and back up to the 85th, suggesting performance can be heavily influenced by specific student cohorts in a given year.

New Home Elementary is a strong performer, particularly in Reading, where it consistently outperforms the state average across all tested grades (3rd-5th), with 4th and 5th graders showing proficiency rates over 70%. A key finding is a stark contrast in math performance: elementary math is consistently strong, outperforming the state by 15-18 percentage points, but middle school math (grades 6-8) shows a dramatic drop-off, with 7th-grade math proficiency at 0% in 2025-2026. This suggests a potential curriculum gap or transition issue that warrants investigation. The district serves a relatively low-poverty population, with only 13.7% of elementary students and 7.87% of high school students eligible for free/reduced lunch, and spends $9,190 per student, slightly below the national average but typical for an efficient small district.
