Summary

Miami School in Miami, TX, is a small, rural, alternative public school serving 177 students in grades PK-12 within the Miami Independent School District (Isd). This tight-knit community school in the Texas Panhandle boasts a perfect track record for student retention, with a 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate for the last five consecutive years. With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.1:1 and per-pupil spending over $14,000—well above the state average—the school provides a highly personalized and well-funded educational environment.

Miami School has undergone a remarkable academic turnaround over the past three years, moving from performing below the state average to significantly exceeding it in many areas. For example, 8th-grade reading proficiency jumped from 33% to 75%, and Algebra I proficiency soared from 22% to nearly 79%. The high school End-of-Course (EOC) exams are the school's standout strength, with proficiency rates for Algebra I (78.57%), English I (84.62%), Biology (84.62%), and U.S. History (80%) all dramatically higher than the state average. However, 5th-grade science remains a persistent weak point, with only 14% proficiency, signaling a specific area for targeted improvement.

Compared to nearby Lefors School, a similar-sized rural alternative school 19 miles away, Miami School shows a clear academic advantage. In the most recent data, Miami's EOC proficiency rates are dramatically higher—for instance, 78.57% in Algebra I versus Lefors' 12.5%, and 84.62% in English I versus 30%. Miami also serves a more economically diverse student body, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 31.64% compared to Lefors' 66.47%. This comparison highlights how Miami's stable, well-funded environment supports strong outcomes, while Lefors faces steeper challenges despite a similar structure.
