Summary:
The 17 schools in zip code 75165 (Waxahachie, TX) serve students from elementary through high school, primarily under the Waxahachie Independent School District (Isd), with two charter campuses from Life School offering additional options.
The standout school in the area is Waxahachie Global High School, a 5-star magnet school ranking in the 95th percentile statewide with exceptional test scores in English and Biology. In contrast, Clift Elementary faces significant challenges with a 0-star rating and very low math proficiency rates. Among elementary schools, Felty Elementary stands out as the highest-performing traditional option, consistently earning 3-4 stars. For middle schools, Coleman J H is the top performer, excelling in advanced coursework like Algebra I and Biology. The Life Middle Waxahachie and Life H S Waxahachie charter schools perform relatively well compared to their district ranking, with the high school boasting a 99.1% graduation rate.
A key finding is that middle school math proficiency in standard grade-level courses is a district-wide weakness, with 7th-grade math scores consistently below state averages. Spending per student varies widely, from $9,485 at Finley J H to $18,618 at Waxahachie H S Of Choice, but higher spending does not guarantee better performance, as seen with Marvin Biomedical Academy spending $14,031 per student yet ranking in the 12th percentile. The district's high schools maintain strong graduation rates and very low dropout rates, indicating that students who stay enrolled are likely to graduate.
