In zip code 79511, there is one elementary school, Coahoma Elementary, serving grades PK through 5 with 524 students in the Coahoma, TX area, part of the Coahoma Independent School District (Isd).
Coahoma Elementary is the only school in this zip code, and its performance has declined sharply in recent years. The school's state ranking has dropped dramatically from the 47th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 9th percentile in 2025-2026, placing it in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools. STAAR test scores for the 2025-2026 school year show proficiency rates in both reading and math are below state averages across all grade levels. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency is 26.67%, compared to the state average of 47.38%, and 3rd-grade reading proficiency is 28.74%, versus the state average of 51.08%. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.7:1, which is lower than the national average and suggests smaller class sizes.
Despite spending $11,214 per student—above the Texas state average—academic outcomes are in the bottom 10%, raising questions about how funds are allocated. The school's free and reduced lunch rate is 37.6%, indicating a moderate level of economic disadvantage. While math scores have dropped significantly year-over-year, 5th-grade reading (42.67%) is the school's strongest subject, though still below the state average of 58.47%. This could point to a specific program or teacher in upper elementary reading that may offer best practices for improvement. The rapid decline in performance warrants a close look at changes in curriculum, staff, or leadership at Coahoma Elementary.
