Summary:
Nocona Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single high school, Nocona High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance and characteristics provide a mixed picture, with areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.
Nocona High School has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 65.16% White and 31.97% Hispanic. The school serves a significant economically disadvantaged population, with 54.1% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, the school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams has been variable, with some subjects exceeding the state average and others underperforming. The school's four-year graduation rate of 89.7% is relatively high, and its dropout rate of 0.7% is lower than the state average. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 649 out of 1,961 Texas high schools in 2022-2023 to 1,030 out of 1,876 in 2021-2022, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied between 2 and 3 out of 5 stars.
Nocona High School's resource allocation, with a relatively high per-student spending of $12,838 and a low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1, suggests that the district is investing significant resources in the school. However, the inconsistent academic performance and ranking indicate that the school may not be maximizing the impact of these resources. Addressing the factors contributing to the school's strengths and weaknesses, and implementing targeted strategies to improve student outcomes, could help Nocona ISD achieve more consistent and high-level academic achievement for its students.
