Summary

Coleman High School is a small, rural high school in Coleman, TX, serving 229 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Coleman Independent School District (Isd). The school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in Science and English, and offers a well-funded, supportive environment with a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.5:1 and per-pupil spending of $14,546—significantly higher than nearby Bangs High School ($11,043). Coleman consistently outperforms its neighbors, including Santa Anna Secondary, on key STAAR exams, with standout proficiency rates in Biology (89.58% vs. 50% at Santa Anna) and English II Reading (66% vs. 47.06%). The school also boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate in recent years and a very low dropout rate of 0.4%, reflecting its ability to keep students engaged through to graduation.

While Coleman’s overall state ranking has been stable (currently 67th percentile, 3 stars), its performance with specific student groups has been inconsistent. The school has shown remarkable success with "At Risk" students, who ranked in the 87th percentile in 2021-2022, but struggles to maintain high outcomes for Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status students, whose rankings dropped from the 83rd-85th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 59th and 69th percentile in 2025-2026. A persistent challenge is supporting Special Education students, who have ranked in the 20th-38th percentile over the last three years, and Multi-racial students, whose ranking fell from the 68th to the 14th percentile. These areas require targeted attention to ensure equitable success for all learners.

Coleman’s English/Language Arts department is a clear strength, with English I Reading scores often far above the state average (e.g., 75% vs. 53.77% in 2023-2024). However, Algebra I performance remains a consistent weakness, often below state benchmarks. The school’s Gifted and Talented program has shown extreme volatility, with rankings swinging from the 93rd percentile to the 39th percentile in consecutive years, raising questions about program consistency. Overall, Coleman High School is a solid choice for families seeking a small, resource-rich school with strong academics in core subjects, but parents should be aware of the uneven support for certain student groups and the need for continued improvement in math and equity-focused programs.
