Summary:
Zip code 75426 in Clarksville, Texas, is served by two public schools within the Clarksville Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the bottom 3% of Texas districts and serves a student population where over 93% are economically disadvantaged.
Clarksville Middle And High School is the standout school in this area, earning a 1-star rating and ranking in the 19th percentile statewide, compared to Cheatham Elementary which ranks in the 0th percentile. The middle/high school shows a remarkable strength in 8th-grade Math, where 61.76% of students are proficient—14.5 points above the state average—and also performs relatively well in high school Biology (57.5% proficient) and English I (46.51%). However, the school faces serious challenges with a graduation rate of just 80% and a dropout rate of 4.3%. Cheatham Elementary struggles significantly, with proficiency rates often in the single digits across most subjects, such as 6.9% in 3rd Grade Reading and 5.56% in 4th Grade Math, though 5th Grade Reading reaches 26.47%.
Despite above-average per-student spending ($12,379 to $13,894) and favorable student-teacher ratios (10:1 at the middle/high school and 13.9:1 at the elementary), academic outcomes are among the lowest in Texas. The data also shows extreme year-over-year volatility due to small class sizes—for example, Biology EOC proficiency swung from 57.5% in 2025-2026 to just 4.17% the prior year. This suggests that performance is highly dependent on specific cohorts and individual teachers, making the 8th-grade Math success a notable outlier that could serve as a model for improvement across the district.
