Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 79511, serving the Coahoma Independent School District (Isd) in Coahoma, TX, present a mixed picture of academic performance, with a total of 1,084 students across elementary, middle, and high school levels. The district holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 41st percentile statewide, but individual schools show starkly different trajectories.
Coahoma High School stands out as the district's most consistent performer, boasting a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, though its state ranking sits in the 51st percentile. In contrast, Coahoma J H is the rising star, having jumped 23 percentile points to reach the 67th percentile and a 3-star rating, with 8th-grade math scores 10 points above the state average. However, Coahoma Elementary is in a state of crisis, with its ranking plummeting from the 47th to the 9th percentile, and no grade level scoring above state averages in reading or math. The elementary school also has the highest rate of economic disadvantage at 37.6%, compared to 27.16% at the middle school and 24.61% at the high school.
Key findings reveal a "middle school bounce" where students improve significantly after leaving elementary, with 6th graders outperforming 5th graders in both reading and math. Science is a district-wide weakness, particularly in 8th grade where scores are 17 points below the state average, though high school biology is a bright spot at 72.73% proficiency. The high school excels in biology and English I but struggles in Algebra I, which is 11 points below the state average. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.7:1 and per-student spending of $11,202, the district has resources to address these challenges, but urgent intervention is needed at the elementary level to reverse its downward trend.
