Summary

Colmesneil Jh/High School is a small, rural school in Colmesneil, TX, serving 194 students in grades 7 through 12 as part of the Colmesneil Independent School District (Isd).

This school is a study in contrasts, with notable strengths and critical areas for improvement. On the positive side, Colmesneil consistently achieves exceptional results in U.S. History, with 89.29% of students proficient in the most recent year—a 19-point advantage over the state average and far ahead of nearby Woodville High School (36.84%). The school also shows flashes of excellence in Biology and English, and it outperforms its larger neighbor, Woodville, in most subjects. However, there is a serious crisis in 7th-grade mathematics, where only 9.38% of students were proficient—roughly one-third of the state average and the lowest among nearby schools like Chester High School (38.46%) and Zavalla High School (40%). This math weakness creates an "Algebra I paradox," where students who struggle in middle school math are not prepared for high school algebra, leading to volatile scores that dropped from 64.29% proficiency to just 22.58% over two years.

Another key concern is the school's inconsistent year-over-year performance, which is more pronounced than in neighboring schools and may be influenced by small class sizes. Additionally, the school's effectiveness with low socio-economic status (SES) students has declined sharply, dropping from the 87th percentile to the 34th percentile in just two years. Despite spending significantly less per student ($12,031) than Woodville ($16,082) and Zavalla ($15,613), Colmesneil achieves better outcomes in several areas, suggesting efficient resource use. However, the recent declines in math and for low-SES students indicate that current spending may be insufficient to address emerging challenges. The school maintains a strong graduation rate above 95% and a dropout rate near 0%, providing a stable foundation for families.
