Schools in Sweetwater ISD · Nolan County

West Texas wind country, Nolan County stretches across the rolling plains between Abilene and Midland, and its schools carry that same no-frills, get-it-done character. Four districts serve just eight ranked public schools across Sweetwater, Roscoe, and Blackwell — small enough that individual campuses matter enormously. Highland School in Roscoe stands out sharply, landing in the 93rd percentile statewide and representing the county's lone top-quartile performer. Blackwell School also holds its own at the 71st percentile. Families drawn to small-district schooling where staff know every student by name will find real options here, particularly in Roscoe.
