Summary:
In zip code 75109, there is a single high school, Mildred High School, which serves grades 6 through 12 with a total enrollment of 453 students and is part of the Mildred Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 56th percentile statewide.
Mildred High School presents a mixed picture of strengths and challenges. The school excels in middle school mathematics, with 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade math scores consistently and significantly outperforming state averages—for example, 7th-grade math proficiency reached 61.54% compared to the state's 29.41% in the most recent data. However, this strength does not carry over to high school math, as Algebra I proficiency (38.64%) falls nearly 15 points below the state average. The school also shows notable volatility in reading scores, with 7th-grade reading proficiency dropping from 63.46% to 40.63% between school years. Social studies is a clear weakness in middle school, with only 22.95% of 8th graders proficient, though high school U.S. History scores are strong at 77.05% proficiency, beating the state average.
On the positive side, Mildred High School boasts excellent "soft" metrics that suggest a supportive environment: a low student-teacher ratio of 12.2:1, a very low dropout rate of 0.5%, and a solid graduation rate of 91.2%. However, these positive indicators contrast with a declining state ranking, which has dropped from the 72nd percentile (4 stars) to a projected 47th percentile (2 stars) over three years. This suggests the school is effective at keeping students engaged and on track to graduate, but is struggling to raise academic proficiency to state standards in key areas like Algebra I and middle school social studies.
