Summary

Mount Calm Independent School District (Isd) is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Mount Calm, TX, with 158 students and a student-teacher ratio of 10.7. This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, maintaining a 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, which are significantly better than the state averages.

Mount Calm ISD excels in STAAR Reading assessments, with projected proficiency rates in 2024-2025 that exceed the state averages across multiple grade levels. However, the school's mathematics performance is more mixed, with some grade levels performing well above the state average and others significantly below. To address this, the district may need to focus on improving its mathematics instruction and support. Despite these challenges, Mount Calm ISD spends significantly more per student ($13,148 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, which may contribute to the school's strong academic outcomes.

When compared to nearby alternative schools, Mount Calm ISD stands out for its exceptional graduation and dropout rates.

By continuing to invest in its students and addressing areas for improvement, particularly in mathematics and science, Mount Calm Independent School District (Isd) can maintain its position as a leader in the region.
