NIXON-SMILEY CISD DAEP

NIXON-SMILEY CISD DAEP is a Title I public high school that is part of the NIXON-SMILEY CISD school district, located in SMILEY, TX with about 5 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 2 teachers, NIXON-SMILEY CISD DAEP has a student/teacher ratio of about 2:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Nixon-Smiley CISD Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP), located in Smiley, Texas, serves as a specialized educational environment within the Nixon-Smiley Consolidated Independent School District. Designed to support students who have been removed from their traditional classroom settings for disciplinary reasons, the program focuses on maintaining academic continuity while addressing behavioral expectations. By providing a structured and focused environment, the DAEP aims to help students meet district-mandated behavioral goals, ensuring they remain on track with their state-required curriculum during their period of reassignment.

The program operates under the broader mission of the Nixon-Smiley CISD, which emphasizes student success, accountability, and preparation for future academic transitions. As a smaller, highly supervised setting, the DAEP allows for closer monitoring of student progress and individualized attention to academic recovery.
