Nocona Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Nocona Isd

Nocona ISD is a small district spanning Montague County, serving prekindergarten through grade twelve with an enrollment of around seven hundred fifty students spread across elementary, middle, and high school buildings. The enrollment leans toward the white student population, with a meaningful share of Hispanic students; the district includes very small numbers of students from other racial and ethnic backgrounds. The district's free-or-reduced-price lunch rate and the count of students receiving special education or English learner services were not reported in available data, limiting a full picture of student economic need and support populations.

State assessment results for the most recently available year show mixed performance across subjects and grades, with considerable variation. In English language arts, the district shows stronger results in grades six and eight, where about six in ten and seven in ten students respectively performed at proficiency or above. Grade four and five ELA results are lower, around one in three and less than one in two. Mathematics results are similarly uneven: grade eight reaches proficiency at about half of students, while grades five through seven remain below half. Science shows solid performance in grade eight, with about two in three students proficient, though grade five science results are too small to report. In social studies, grade eight proficiency is substantially lower, with only about one in seven students meeting the standard. The district as a whole reaches proficiency or above across all assessed subjects in roughly four in ten instances when looking across the tested subjects and grades. Among Montague County's districts, Nocona ISD sits below the midpoint on overall proficiency index, suggesting other districts in the county are performing stronger on state measures.

Chronic absenteeism in the district stands at about twelve percent, placing it slightly above the county median and pointing to attendance as a potential area needing attention. The district's per-pupil spending is in the upper half of the county range, though still moderate in absolute terms.

Housing in the communities served by Nocona ISD is quite affordable relative to both state and national benchmarks. The weighted median home value across the district's service area is around two hundred forty thousand, below the state average, with a year-over-year decline of less than one percent. The affordability profile suggests modest monthly mortgage obligations for a household on the national median income, making the area accessible to families seeking lower housing costs.

The district's recent strategic initiatives and planned changes were not available in publicly reported materials, so a reader looking for information about district direction and improvement efforts may want to contact the district directly for that information.
