Summary

Community High School in Nevada, TX, serves 1,328 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Community Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 41st percentile statewide. Over half of the student body (52.7%) is economically disadvantaged, and the school has maintained a consistent, mid-tier performance level (around the 47th percentile) over the last five years, a decline from its 3-star ratings between 2015 and 2019.

While Community High School is a solidly average school, it is surrounded by higher-performing neighbors like Rockwall High School (92nd percentile) and Wylie East High School (90th percentile). The most significant differentiator is a persistent weakness in Algebra I, where only 33.14% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, well below the state average of 54.03% and dramatically lower than Rockwall High (71.65%). In contrast, the school shows a notable strength in Biology, with 75% proficiency, exceeding the state average and performing on par with Farmersville High School (75.14%). The school also demonstrates exceptional recent support for English Language Learners (73rd percentile) and Special Education students (61st percentile), a significant improvement from just two years prior.

Despite lower test scores, Community High School maintains a high graduation rate of 94.6%, comparable to top-performing Rockwall High (98.9%) and far better than the struggling Princeton Senior High School (94.1%). However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 20.1 is the highest among comparable area schools, which may impact individualized attention in core subjects. Interestingly, the school's Gifted and Talented program ranks in the 19th percentile, suggesting a potential need to better challenge its highest-achieving students. Overall, Community High School is a stable, average school that excels in supporting diverse learners and keeping students on track to graduate, even as it faces challenges in math and competition from nearby high-performing districts.
