Original Research by School Decision on Nacogdoches Co Daep
Nacogdoches County DAEP is an alternative school in Chireno, Texas, located on Main Street. The school is currently inactive, meaning it is no longer operating. State testing data, enrollment figures, demographic information, graduation rates, and other performance metrics are not available because the school is not active.
Alternative schools in Texas typically serve students who have been removed from regular campus settings due to disciplinary action, court order, or other circumstance. DAEP stands for Disciplinary Alternative Education Program. These programs operate under a distinct mission from traditional schools and outside the standard accountability framework, which explains why comparative performance data is not reported for this entity.
The Chireno area where the school is located sits in rural East Texas. The local housing market shows a median home value below both state and national benchmarks, making it an affordable area for families. Rental housing is similarly accessible relative to local incomes. The unemployment rate in the region hovers near national levels, and median household income tracks with national averages, suggesting a stable if modest economic base.
Chireno Independent School District, the parent district, recently faced a significant disruption when an electrical fire in December damaged the elementary building, forcing nearly 90 elementary students into portable classrooms. That event prompted voters to approve a bond for a new elementary school building, updated infrastructure, and improved drop-off and parking facilities. Construction is estimated to take roughly two to three years. The bond carries minimal tax impact for most homeowners in the district due to local and state homestead exemptions that shelter average-valued homes from school property taxes entirely.
Because this school is inactive, it does not serve students currently and is not a path families can pursue.
