Mexia Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Mexia Isd

Mexia ISD is a small district serving grades pre-kindergarten through twelve in Limestone County, Texas. The enrollment stands at roughly eighteen hundred students, distributed fairly evenly across grade levels. The student body is about half Hispanic and just over one-fifth Black, with smaller shares of White, multiracial, and Asian students. The district does not report free-or-reduced-price-lunch participation or English learner enrollment, so the economic makeup and language support needs cannot be described from the available data.

State testing results from the most recent year show consistent and concerning patterns. Reading proficiency ranges from the upper twenties to low forties across grades three through eight, with fifth grade performing noticeably better than peers. Math proficiency is lower, ranging from eighteen percent to thirty-one percent, and dropped to zero in one Spanish-language test section. Science proficiency in eighth grade sits at twenty-eight percent. Social studies proficiency in eighth grade is markedly weak at three percent. When Texas reports mastery-level performance, the district shows five percent at the high end (social studies) and eight percent in math; nine percent of students achieved mastery in reading. These numbers place Mexia ISD in the bottom quartile for overall proficiency among Limestone County's districts.

A parent visiting the district should know that chronic absenteeism runs at a substantial rate, also in the bottom quartile countywide. This attendance pattern often correlates with academic struggle and may point to barriers in the student experience worth exploring directly with school staff. Per-pupil spending falls in the middle-to-upper range for the county, so resource allocation does not explain the performance gap.

The district operates four schools alongside a developmental center. The structure includes an elementary school, intermediate school, junior high, and high school. No information on graduation rates, program breadth, dual-credit offerings, special education services, or discipline practices is available from the data on hand. A parent or guardian considering Mexia ISD for their child would benefit from requesting specific information about intervention programs, tutoring, and summer support, particularly given the testing outcomes.

Housing in the area is affordable relative to national benchmarks. The median home value in Mexia proper is lower than in neighboring Groesbeck, and monthly mortgage costs for the typical home remain modest even at current interest rates.
