Summary

Clint Independent School District (Isd) Early College Academy is a small, high-performing magnet high school in Clint, Texas, serving 290 students in grades 9-12 with a mission to provide a rigorous early college pathway. This school stands out dramatically from its neighbors, earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 90th percentile statewide, while nearby comprehensive high schools like Clint High School (50th percentile) and Horizon High School (30th percentile) lag far behind. The school boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate for four consecutive years and a near-zero dropout rate, a stark contrast to schools like Fabens High School (81.6% graduation) and San Elizario High School (83.5% graduation).

Academically, the school excels across the board, with STAAR EOC proficiency rates that are often 30-40 percentage points higher than the district average—for example, 89% in English I Reading versus 50% district-wide. The early college model is clearly a proven success, as the school serves a predominantly low socio-economic status population (68% free/reduced lunch) yet ranks in the 97th percentile for Hispanic students and 98th percentile for low-income students. Its only true peer in the region is Mission Early College High School, another early college academy just 6.6 miles away in the Socorro Independent School District (Isd), which ranks even higher (97th percentile) with similar demographics, suggesting that implementation details matter for achieving top-tier results.

However, there are two points worth watching. First, the school's overall rank has dipped slightly from a peak of 85th in the state to 198th, and subgroup rankings for Hispanic and low-income students have also declined modestly. Second, the school's performance with Gifted and Talented students dropped dramatically to the 43rd percentile in 2025-2026, down from 91st the year prior, indicating that while the school excels at bringing all students to high proficiency, it may need to focus more on enrichment for its highest achievers. Overall, this is an exceptional school that delivers outstanding outcomes for a diverse student body, making it a top choice for families seeking a rigorous, supportive high school experience.
