Summary

Mathis High School in Mathis, TX, is a small high school serving 408 students in grades 9-12 within the Mathis Independent School District (Isd), and it has shown a remarkable upward trajectory, moving from a 2-star rating to a consistent 3-star rating over the last three years. The school stands out for its exceptional performance with its core student body, particularly Hispanic and low socio-economic status (SES) students, who rank in the 66th percentile statewide—a full 12 points higher than the school's overall rank. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Calallen High School and Sinton High School, which serve more affluent populations, highlighting Mathis's ability to achieve strong results despite greater economic challenges.

Mathis High School is a "rising star" in the region, with a steady climb from the 33rd percentile in 2018-2019 to the 54th percentile in 2025-2026—a gain of 21 percentile points. While Skidmore-Tynan High School has seen a more dramatic rise, it started from a much higher base, and other nearby schools like Sinton and Banquete High School have experienced stagnant or volatile performance. The school excels in English Language Arts (ELA), with English I and English II scores above the state average, outperforming Sinton and Odem High School in this area. Additionally, the school's graduation rate has climbed to 95.4%, now on par with top-performing schools like Skidmore-Tynan and significantly higher than Odem (88.1%) and Orange Grove High School (89.4%).

Interesting findings include a historical powerhouse Gifted and Talented program that consistently ranked in the 78th to 88th percentile, and a remarkable success story with English Language Learner (ELL) students, who ranked in the 73rd percentile. However, the school shows a clear academic split: it is strong in STEM (Biology at 71.57% proficiency) and ELA, but consistently struggles with U.S. History (62.07% proficiency, below the state average). The school invests $13,119 per student, higher than Calallen and Orange Grove but lower than Banquete, and maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.5:1, allowing for more individualized attention. Overall, Mathis High School is a school on the rise, demonstrating that it can achieve strong academic outcomes despite serving a high-poverty student body, with key areas for improvement in U.S. History and maintaining its strong graduation rate.
