Nazareth School, Nazareth TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Nazareth School

Nazareth School is a small rural PK-12 public school serving a tight-knit farming community on the Texas High Plains. The school enrollment is modest across grades, with cohorts of roughly fifteen to twenty-two students per grade level, and reflects the town's predominantly white, agricultural character: most students are white, with smaller populations of Hispanic and other students, and about one in five qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The school's academic profile is uneven but shows strength where the testing data concentrates. In English language arts, proficiency runs strong across the tested grades, with most grades reaching in the high eighties and nineties. Mathematics performance is similarly solid across the elementary and middle grades, with a notable standout in eighth grade where proficiency reaches the highest level. Science tells a different story: fifth grade proficiency is notably low, while eighth grade rebounds to a strong level. Social studies, tested only in eighth grade, shows weaker performance. Overall, the school's proficiency index places it at the top among the three school districts in Castro County.

State testing data covers grades three through eight. No state assessment results were available for high school grades, and no graduation rate, college readiness measures, or post-secondary pathway outcomes appear in the available data. Readers should ask the school directly about what high school students take in terms of dual-credit courses, AP offerings, vocational pathways, or other college or career preparation, since those details were not sourced here.

The school sits at the civic heart of Nazareth. The town's economy rests on agriculture and farming, with few employers outside that sector. The Nazareth Swiftettes girls basketball program is regionally famous and a central source of community identity and cohesion. Holy Family Catholic Church is the other major civic anchor. The town itself has experienced slow to slight population decline over recent decades, and no major growth or development projects have been announced. The setting is purely rural with a close-knit, family-oriented atmosphere; residents own their homes, distances within town are short, and daily life centers on school, church, and agricultural life.

Enrollment data, demographic counts, and free-or-reduced-lunch counts appear in the school's profile section. The school's website address was not provided. Recent strategic priorities or operational changes in the district were not found despite search efforts.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
