Summary

Commerce High School is a small public high school in Commerce, TX, serving 456 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Commerce Independent School District (Isd). The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of about 12:1 and spends slightly above the state average per student, but over 70% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting significant economic challenges in the community.

Academically, Commerce High School ranks in the bottom third of Texas high schools, with proficiency rates on state tests consistently below state averages in subjects like Algebra I (37% vs. 54% statewide) and U.S. History (41% vs. 70% statewide). However, it slightly exceeded the state average in English I Reading (55.75% vs. 55.43%). The school's overall performance is lower than nearby rural peers like Lone Oak High School and Celeste High School, but it is comparable to the larger Greenville High School, which serves a similarly high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Notably, Commerce outperforms Greenville in several test areas, particularly in English Language Arts.

A standout strength is the school's support for Special Education students, who ranked in the 62nd percentile statewide in 2025-2026—a dramatic improvement from previous years. This suggests effective interventions for this group. However, the school struggles with its largest demographic, economically disadvantaged students (23rd percentile), and its Gifted and Talented students (15th percentile), indicating challenges in challenging high-achievers. Despite these academic hurdles, Commerce boasts a strong graduation rate, consistently above 91%, showing a commitment to keeping students on track to earn diplomas.
