Summary:
The Pewitt Consolidated Independent School District is home to a single high school, Pewitt High School, located in Omaha, Texas, serving grades 9 through 12 with a total enrollment of 262 students.
Pewitt High School stands out for its strong academic improvement, moving from a 2-star rating in the 49th percentile to a 3-star rating in the 58th percentile over the last three years. The school consistently outperforms state averages in Biology (75.76% vs. 70.51%) and U.S. History (75.93% vs. 70.17%) in the most recent testing year. However, math scores show significant volatility, with Algebra I proficiency dropping from 59.57% to 26.83% year-over-year, a 55% decline that warrants attention. The school maintains a 0.0% dropout rate and a 94.9% graduation rate, supported by an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 10.6:1, which allows for more individualized attention despite over half of the students (56.87%) being economically disadvantaged.
Key metrics include per-student spending of $14,169 and consistent above-average performance in English I, English II, and Biology across recent years. While U.S. History scores showed a strong recovery from below state average to above state average, the year-over-year inconsistency suggests sensitivity to instructional changes. Overall, Pewitt High School offers a small, intimate learning environment with strong support systems, though families should be aware of the volatility in math achievement when considering the school's academic profile.
