Summary

Margie Chumbley Academy For Success is a small, alternative high school in Nacogdoches, TX, serving 67 students in grades 9-12 within the Nacogdoches Independent School District (Isd).

This school is designed specifically for students who have struggled in a traditional high school setting, offering a second chance to earn a diploma. With a remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio of 4.5:1—about one-third the size of nearby schools like Nacogdoches High School (14.4:1) and Central Heights High School (13.5:1)—the academy provides intensive, individualized instruction and support. The school spends $14,432 per student, significantly more than the district's main high school ($9,981), reflecting this high-touch approach. While test scores are low (e.g., 22% proficient in Algebra I vs. 54% statewide), the school's value lies in helping at-risk students graduate. Its graduation rate of 70.4% is a notable achievement for a population that might otherwise drop out entirely, though the dropout rate of 12.4% remains a key challenge.

An interesting finding is the school's potential for exceptional success with special education students, who ranked in the 95th percentile statewide in 2023-2024, though this success has been inconsistent. U.S. History is consistently the strongest subject, with 46% proficiency in 2025-2026. The academy serves a high-need population, with 76-91% of students economically disadvantaged, and it complements the high-performing Central Heights High School (94th percentile, 100% graduation rate) just 3.84 miles away. This contrast highlights the educational diversity within the region, with Margie Chumbley acting as a critical safety net for students who need a different path to success.
