Schools in Jonesboro ISD · Hamilton County

Rural Central Texas shapes everything about schooling in Hamilton County — three small districts, six public schools, and communities where Hamilton and Hico each anchor their own educational world. Hamilton High School stands out as the county's strongest performer, ranking at the 85th percentile statewide, a notable achievement for a school its size. Hico High School follows at the 67th percentile, giving families in that corner of the county a genuinely solid option. With only one school in the top quartile statewide, the county's overall academic profile is modest, but Hamilton's district in particular offers more than its rural footprint might suggest.
