Elementary Schools in Nixon-Smiley Consolidated Independent School District

Summary:

The Nixon-Smiley Consolidated Independent School District in Texas has only one elementary school, Nixon Smiley Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1745 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 2509 out of 4651 in 2024-2025.

Nixon Smiley Elementary's academic performance on STAAR tests is mixed compared to state averages. While the school's 3rd grade math proficiency is above the state average, its 4th grade math proficiency is significantly below. Additionally, the school has 0% proficiency in STAAR Spanish/Reading and STAAR Spanish/Mathematics for 3rd grade, which is notably lower than the state averages. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 84.33% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,359 for the 2020-2021 school year, the declining statewide ranking and mixed academic performance suggest that the school may face challenges in supporting student achievement. The district and school administrators should closely examine these metrics and findings to identify opportunities for improvement and develop strategies to address the specific needs of Nixon Smiley Elementary and its students.
