Summary:
The Coldspring-Oakhurst Consolidated Independent School District in Texas operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district serves a diverse student population, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, the academic performance across all schools is consistently below state averages, raising concerns about equity and access to quality education.
Coldspring-Oakhurst High School stands out for its relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.9%, which is above the state average. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC test scores, is significantly below the state average across all subjects. In contrast, Lincoln J H (Middle School) has a lower overall statewide ranking but a relatively low dropout rate of 0.7% and higher STAAR test scores in reading and math compared to the other schools in the district.
The district as a whole struggles with academic performance, with STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subjects well below the state averages. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55% at the high school to over 70% at the elementary schools, suggests potential equity concerns that may be contributing to the achievement gaps. While the district spends between $10,558 and $14,696 per student, with the high school receiving the highest per-student funding, the low student-teacher ratios indicate that there may be opportunities to optimize resource allocation and target interventions to improve academic outcomes for the Coldspring-Oakhurst Consolidated Independent School District.
