Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 76834, serving the Coleman Independent School District (Isd) in Coleman, TX, educate 796 students from Pre-K through 12th grade, forming a district with a solid mid-tier state ranking but with stark performance differences between its campuses.
Coleman High School is the district's standout performer, boasting a high graduation rate (93.3%) and exceptional science scores, with 89.58% of students proficient in Biology. In contrast, Coleman Elementary is the primary area of concern, holding a 1-star rating and struggling significantly in early mathematics and reading. Coleman J H serves as a critical bridge, showing remarkable academic growth, particularly in math where 5th graders lag behind the state but 8th graders surpass it. The district exhibits a clear "pipeline" effect: students enter struggling in elementary, show strong growth in middle school, and exit as high performers in high school.
Key metrics reveal a strong correlation between resource allocation and performance. The high school has the lowest student-teacher ratio (8.5:1) and highest spending per student ($14,546), while the elementary school has the largest classes (12.7:1) and lowest spending ($9,245). The district excels in science and history but struggles with mathematics across all levels, with the 8th-grade math class at Coleman J H being a notable exception that outperforms the state average. The percentage of economically disadvantaged students decreases from elementary (58.98%) to high school (32.75%), a demographic trend that aligns with the performance differences between the schools.
