Summary:
In zip code 75569, there is one elementary school, Nash Elementary, serving grades PK through 5 in the city of Nash, Texas, as part of the Texarkana Independent School District (Isd).
Nash Elementary is a mid-to-large school with 667 students and a student-teacher ratio of 15.4:1. The school stands out as a bright spot within its district, earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 52nd percentile statewide, while the Texarkana ISD itself ranks in the bottom 30% of Texas districts. A key strength is literacy instruction, as the school achieves Reading scores at or above the state average in several grades despite nearly 90% of students being economically disadvantaged. For example, 5th Grade Reading proficiency reached 65.79% in 2025-2026, exceeding the state average of 58.47%. However, Mathematics is a significant challenge, particularly in 4th Grade, where only 22.45% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, compared to the state average of 49.28%.
The school has shown remarkable year-over-year improvement, jumping from the 31st to the 52nd percentile between the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years, with gains of over 10 percentage points in 3rd Grade Reading and Math and 5th Grade Reading. This volatility suggests the school is capable of significant progress but may be inconsistent. Additionally, performance on STAAR Spanish tests is critically low, with 0% proficiency in some grades and subjects, indicating a need for stronger bilingual support. Overall, Nash Elementary is a school that excels in Reading despite high poverty, but must address a severe and persistent math gap to ensure all students succeed.
