Summary:
In zip code 75672 (Marshall, TX), there is a single high school option: Texas Early College High School, a small public charter school serving grades 8 through 12 with just 97 students.
Texas Early College High School stands out for its exceptional graduation and dropout rates, achieving a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year. The school consistently outperforms both its district, Panola Charter School, and the state in English I and English II Reading STAAR EOC exams, with 80% of students proficient in English II Reading compared to 72.5% for the district and 59.88% for the state. However, the school shows a notable weakness in 8th-grade Mathematics, with only 28.57% of 8th graders proficient, well below the district and state averages. The school has shown steady improvement in its state ranking over the last three years, moving from the 60th percentile to the 66th percentile.
Key metrics include a student-teacher ratio of 24.2:1 and spending per student of $5,180. The school's performance is highly subject-dependent, excelling in English and Biology but struggling in Math, Social Studies, and U.S. History. With only 97 students, individual student performance can significantly impact proficiency percentages, so the data should be interpreted with this small sample size in mind. The school appears highly effective at its core mission of college readiness in English, but the persistent math proficiency gap, particularly in 8th grade, is a critical area for improvement to ensure students are fully prepared for college-level quantitative coursework.
