Summary:
Zip code 76023, serving the rural community of Boyd, Texas, is home to a single high school, Boyd High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Boyd Independent School District (Isd).
Boyd High School is a small school with 417 students and an excellent 11:1 student-teacher ratio, which supports individualized attention. The school boasts a very high graduation rate of 96.2% and an extremely low dropout rate of 0.5%. Academically, the school shows a clear strength in humanities, consistently outperforming the state average in English I Reading, English II Reading, and U.S. History. However, there is a significant weakness in STEM, particularly in Algebra I, where only 29.03% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 54.03%. This academic divide is the school's most pressing challenge.
While the school remains above the state median, its state percentile rank has declined from the 76th percentile three years ago to the 60th percentile currently, a trend likely linked to its persistent struggles in math. The school's performance in Biology is also slightly below the state average. For parents, Boyd High School offers a supportive, small-school environment with strong outcomes in reading and history, but families should be aware of the need for targeted support in mathematics to ensure students are fully prepared for college and careers.
