Summary

Como-Pickton School is a small, rural PK-12 campus in Como, Texas, serving 770 students within the Como-Pickton Consolidated Independent School District, where about 63.5% of students are economically disadvantaged. This school stands out for its exceptional ability to keep students on track, boasting a near-perfect graduation rate of 97.8% and a 0.0% dropout rate over the past five years, which is a remarkable achievement for any school. However, its academic performance on state assessments tells a story of two very different experiences: elementary and middle school students often struggle, while high school students excel dramatically.

In the lower grades, Como-Pickton significantly lags behind the nearby Saltillo School, which is just 11.85 miles away. For example, in 3rd grade math, only 23.08% of Como-Pickton students were proficient compared to 68.42% at Saltillo, and 6th grade reading proficiency was 40.38% versus 78.57%. This pattern continues through middle school, with a notable "slump" in 6th grade math where proficiency drops to just 15%. In contrast, the high school program is a standout success. On End-of-Course (EOC) exams, Como-Pickton students often exceed state averages by 15-25 percentage points, with 75.81% proficient in Algebra I and 80.77% in Biology, making them competitive with Saltillo's high school scores.

This "turnaround" suggests that the high school program is highly effective, possibly due to specialized teachers or a focused curriculum that helps students catch up. The school's lower per-student spending ($11,517) compared to Saltillo ($14,704) and a slightly higher student-teacher ratio (11.7:1) may contribute to the challenges in earlier grades. For parents, this means Como-Pickton offers a strong path to graduation and excellent high school academics, but families should be aware that elementary and middle school students may need extra support to build foundational skills, especially in math and reading.
