DAWSON ISD

Located along 600 Brownfield Highway in Welch, Texas, Dawson Independent School District serves as a vital educational anchor for its rural remote community in West Texas. Operating as a fully active, traditional public school district, Dawson ISD consolidates its academic programming into a single operational campus that serves students across all comprehensive grade levels, from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. This centralized structure allows the district to maintain a cohesive educational pipeline for local families, supported by accessible community outreach both on campus and through its official online portal.

With an enrollment of 140 students—comprising 75 female and 65 male learners—the district delivers a highly personalized learning experience characterized by small class sizes throughout the elementary, middle, and high school grades. The student population reflects the vibrant local culture, with a demographic makeup that includes 110 Hispanic students, 29 White students, and 1 Black student. To support this close-knit academic environment, Dawson ISD maintains a robust team of approximately 48 full-time equivalent staff members, including nearly 27 dedicated classroom teachers alongside instructional aides and vital support staff. This remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio enables educators to provide tailored instruction and individual mentorship, positioning the district as a strong example of focused, community-centered public education.
