McCamey High School

McCamey High School is a public high school serving 139 students in grades 9-12 in McCamey, Texas, which is part of the McCamey Independent School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools over the past decade, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school's Gifted and Talented students have performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 25% of Texas high schools, other student groups have struggled. Male students have generally outperformed female students, and White students have ranked higher than Hispanic students in recent years. Additionally, subgroups like English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students have all ranked in the bottom 25% of Texas high schools. The school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams lags behind the state and district averages across all subject areas, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points lower than the state.

Despite some improvement in the school's four-year graduation rate, the dropout rate has also increased. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and its per-student spending has been relatively high, suggesting a focus on supporting its economically disadvantaged student population. Overall, McCamey High School faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance and ensuring equitable outcomes for all students.
