Coahoma Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Coahoma Isd

Coahoma ISD is a small rural district in Howard County, Texas, serving students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12 across three schools: an elementary building, a junior high, and a high school. The district has a total enrollment that skews toward the lower grades, with the high school serving a notably smaller cohort than the earlier grades.

Academically, the district sits above the midpoint of Howard County's three districts on overall proficiency. Results are uneven across grades and subjects. English language arts shows relative strength, particularly in the middle grades where performance reaches higher levels. Mathematics is weaker throughout most of the elementary and early middle grades, then improves noticeably by eighth grade. Science and social studies performance falls below English language arts across the tested grades. In eighth grade mathematics, proficiency reaches a majority of students; in eighth grade English language arts, it reaches roughly two-thirds. By contrast, in grades three through seven, mathematics proficiency ranges from under a third to less than half of tested students. Science and social studies in the tested grades fall in the low-to-mid range. A parent may want to look into further with the school how the district addresses the gaps in the elementary and early middle grades, particularly in mathematics and science.

The student population is roughly split between White students (about half) and Hispanic students (about five-eighths of the remainder). The district serves a small number of students from other racial and ethnic backgrounds. Data on free- or reduced-price lunch eligibility, special education enrollment, and English learner enrollment were not available in the state's public reporting.

Housing in the district's service areas is affordable relative to national benchmarks. Home values in the Coahoma area are higher than those in the Big Spring area, which also falls within the district's geography. Monthly rent is available primarily from Big Spring and runs moderate. The mortgage-to-income ratio is below the national benchmark, making home purchase accessible for households at median income levels, and rent represents a manageable share of typical household earnings.

Chronic absenteeism in the district runs at a rate above the median for Howard County's districts. State testing data does not include a graduation rate for the district, which typically reflects either very small cohorts in the high school or a data reporting gap; a parent should confirm this directly with the school.

The district's per-pupil spending is in the upper range among Howard County's districts, roughly two-thirds above the median. No recent strategic changes or bond votes for the district could be confirmed from publicly available sources during the research window.
