Summary:
Zip code 75569 is home to a single school, Nash Elementary, a public PK-5 school serving 667 students within the Texarkana Independent School District (Isd), an area where nearly 90% of students face economic disadvantage.
Nash Elementary stands out as a clear academic leader within its district, outperforming the Texarkana Independent School District (Isd) average in five out of six core subject and grade combinations during the 2025-2026 school year. The school has shown a dramatic turnaround in its state ranking, jumping from the 31st percentile (2 stars) in 2024-2025 to the 52nd percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026, driven by strong gains in 3rd and 5th-grade Reading and 3rd-grade Math. However, a critical weakness exists in 4th-grade Math, where only 22.45% of students were proficient—far below both the district (30.42%) and state (49.28%) averages, marking a sharp decline from the previous year.
Despite high poverty levels, Nash Elementary achieves mixed results against state averages, beating them in 3rd-grade Reading (58.82% vs. 51.08%), 5th-grade Reading (65.79% vs. 58.47%), and 3rd-grade Math (47.67% vs. 44.33%), but lagging in other areas. The school also administers STAAR Spanish tests, reflecting a significant population of Spanish-speaking English learners. While early literacy support in Spanish shows promise—with 50% proficiency in 3rd-grade Reading and 41.67% in 4th-grade Reading—performance drops sharply in 5th-grade Reading (22.73%) and 5th-grade Math (0%), suggesting challenges as content complexity increases or during the transition to English instruction.
