Summary:
Nixon-Smiley Consolidated Independent School District in Texas has a single middle school, Nixon-Smiley Middle, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 995 out of 2,344 Texas middle schools in 2024-2025 (3 out of 5 stars) to 1,288 out of 2,330 in 2022-2023 (2 out of 5 stars).
Nixon-Smiley Middle's academic performance on STAAR tests is mixed compared to state averages. In 2024-2025, the school outperformed the state average in 6th and 8th grade reading, as well as 8th grade Algebra I, but underperformed in 5th and 7th grade reading, and all math and science subjects. The school has a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 9.6 to 1 in 2023-2024, which may be a positive factor, but it also serves a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (80.42% in 2023-2024), indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Overall, Nixon-Smiley Consolidated Independent School District appears to have a single middle school with a mix of strengths and challenges. While the small class sizes may be beneficial, the school's academic performance is inconsistent, and it serves a predominantly low-income student population. Further analysis would be needed to fully understand the factors contributing to the school's performance and identify areas for improvement.
