Teague Independent School District (Isd)

The Teague Independent School District (Isd) is a small, unified district in Texas serving approximately 1,212 students across four schools: one elementary, one middle, and two high schools, with a district ranking in the 63rd percentile statewide.

The standout school is Teague Elementary, which ranks in the 88th percentile among Texas elementary schools and outperforms state averages in every subject, despite serving the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students in the district. In contrast, Teague Lion Academy is a struggling alternative high school with a 0-star rating, critically low test scores (0% proficiency in Algebra I and English I Reading), and a high student-to-teacher ratio of 29:1. The traditional Teague High School is a consistent achiever with a 95.9% graduation rate, a 0.0% dropout rate, and strong End-of-Course exam scores well above state averages. Teague J H shows a dramatic decline in math proficiency, dropping from 75.95% in 4th grade to just 19.64% in 7th grade, a critical "math cliff" that needs immediate attention.

A key takeaway is that spending does not directly correlate with performance: Teague Elementary achieves top results with the second-lowest per-student spending ($10,392), while Teague High School spends the most ($13,192) and also performs well. The district presents a tale of two high schools, with Teague High School excelling and Teague Lion Academy struggling, likely serving a different student population. Overall, the district shows strong early education but faces significant challenges in middle school math and a bifurcated high school system with vastly different outcomes.
