Nazareth Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Nazareth Isd

Nazareth ISD is a small rural district serving the Texas Panhandle in Castro County. The enrollment spans pre-K through grade 12 across a single school building, with roughly equal cohorts at each grade level. The student body is predominantly white, with a small Hispanic presence and very few students from other backgrounds. The district does not report free-or-reduced-price lunch counts or English learner enrollment in the available data.

The district's academic profile is notably mixed. In English language arts and mathematics, Nazareth performs well across most tested grades. ELA proficiency sits in the upper range through grades 3 through 8, with particularly strong results in grades 3 and 4. Math proficiency is also solid through middle grades, peaking at grade 8 where students showed mastery. However, the district faces a clear challenge in science. Fifth-grade science proficiency is substantially lower than other tested subjects, which a parent may want to look into further with the school. By eighth grade, science proficiency recovers significantly. Social studies proficiency in grade 8 falls noticeably below performance in ELA and math, presenting another area where student outcomes warrant closer examination.

Across all subjects and grades, when proficiency is aggregated, the district sits well above the midpoint among Castro County's districts in overall academic proficiency. Chronic absenteeism is also notably low, positioning the district in the top range for attendance within the county. Per-pupil spending falls in the middle-to-upper range among comparable districts.

Housing in the towns served by the district is modest. Home values trend in the lower range relative to state benchmarks, which may appeal to families seeking affordability. Regional employment is stable, with unemployment near the national average. Data on program offerings, school discipline, staffing, or specific course access was not available in this profile.

No trend data spanning multiple years was available, so the district's direction over time cannot be assessed. Similarly, graduation rate data was not reported, likely because the most recent available state data preceded the graduation of the first cohort for which the district has current elementary records.
