Summary:
In zip code 76667, there is one high school, Mexia High School, serving grades 9 through 12 in the Mexia Independent School District (Isd), an area where a significant 74.39% of students face economic disadvantage.
Mexia High School enrolls 535 students and has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.3:1, which is lower than the national average and suggests potentially smaller class sizes. Per-pupil spending is $13,016, slightly above the national average. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom third of Texas high schools, between the 26th and 28th percentile over the last three years, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The graduation rate is 89.7%, slightly above the district rate, but the dropout rate of 2.5% is notably higher than the district average of 1.8%, indicating a small but significant group of students leaving school.
Academically, Mexia High School trails state averages in every core subject. For the 2025-2026 school year, proficiency gaps range from -10.69% in U.S. History (a relative strength) to -14.97% in Algebra I. Despite these gaps, there is a clear positive trend: proficiency improved in every subject from the previous year, with Biology seeing a massive 17.41% jump. This suggests recent instructional changes may be taking effect. The school’s favorable resources—a low student-teacher ratio and above-average spending—are not yet translating into top-tier test scores, a common challenge for schools with high poverty rates where resources often address non-academic needs. U.S. History stands out as the subject where the school performs closest to the state benchmark, with nearly 60% of students scoring proficient.
