Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 75948, all part of the Hemphill Independent School District (Isd), serve 788 students from Pre-K through 12th grade in the Hemphill, TX area, and the district itself is a standout performer, ranking in the 87th percentile of all Texas districts.
Among the schools, Hemphill High School is the most consistent performer, earning a 4-star rating for three consecutive years with a 95.9% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate. It excels in science and history, with over 83% of students proficient in Biology and U.S. History. Hemphill Middle is a math powerhouse, achieving a remarkable 92.31% proficiency rate in Algebra I—38 points above the state average—and rebounding to a 4-star rating after a previous dip. Hemphill Elementary is the rising star, jumping from a 2-star to a 4-star rating in just two years, with 62% of 4th graders proficient in Reading and 67% in Math, both above state averages.
A key takeaway is the district-wide upward trend, with all three schools improving or maintaining high performance. Interestingly, the Middle School produces the highest subject proficiency despite spending the least per student ($12,746), while the High School spends the most ($15,173). However, a notable area for improvement is a "6th-grade slump" in reading at the Middle School, where only 50% of 6th graders are proficient, below the state average. Overall, this district offers strong academic programs, particularly in math and science, with a clear commitment to student success.
