Texline School, Texline TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Texline School

Texline School is a small, unified pre-K-through-12 campus serving a rural community in the far northwest Texas Panhandle. The school enrolls a student population that is roughly evenly divided between white and Hispanic students, with a substantial share qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the economic conditions of a remote agricultural region.

State assessment data for the current year shows mid-to-solid proficiency across tested grades and subjects. In English language arts, the school reports proficiency in the mid-range at the elementary grades, with notably stronger performance in sixth and eighth grade. Math proficiency runs somewhat lower and more uneven, particularly in fourth and seventh grade, though sixth and eighth grade again show stronger results. Science and social studies proficiency are weaker overall, with science proficiency at half the tested students meeting the standard in grade five, and social studies proficiency at just over half in grade eight. The school's overall proficiency index places it in the top quartile among the few other districts in Dallam County, the county comparison set available.

The school serves a very small absolute enrollment across its full span. This structure has tradeoffs common to rural unified schools. A parent gains the stability of a single building where a child may progress from prekindergarten through high school graduation without transition, with teachers and administrators who know the child across years. The tight cohort size, however, means fewer peers, fewer elective or specialized course offerings than larger schools, and less ability to differentiate instruction or support for students with varying needs. The school's grade-by-grade enrollment figures range from a low of ten to a high of twenty students per grade, creating wide variation in resources deployed per class.

No data on graduation rate, attendance, discipline, course offerings, or staffing were available in the sources provided, so a parent may want to contact the school and district directly to understand those dimensions. English learner and special education enrollment counts were also not reported in the available data.

Texline itself is a very small, historically declining town that has stabilized after significant population loss when railroad operations relocated mid-century. Recent reports suggest modest population recovery, but no major new residential development has been documented. The town functions as a service center for regional ranching and agriculture. Housing costs in the area remain low, and a statewide Texas homestead exemption increase enacted in 2025 has raised the exemption cap, meaning that families with average-value homes in this region may owe little to no school property tax, a direct cost reduction for homeowners.

The state has also enacted a new statewide school-choice program (education savings accounts) launching in 2026-27, and passed a significant public-school funding package in 2025 including teacher-pay increases. These shifts carry implications for enrollment and staffing competition that families considering the area should be aware of.

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.
