TIDEHAVEN HIGH SCHOOL

TIDEHAVEN H S is a Title I public high school that is part of the TIDEHAVEN ISD school district, located in EL MATON, TX with about 295 students offering grade levels from 9th 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 23 teachers, TIDEHAVEN H S has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

Tidehaven High School, located in the rural community of El Maton, Texas, serves as the primary secondary education hub for the Tidehaven Independent School District.

Academically and culturally, the school reflects the values typical of a small-town Texas district, where individual attention and student-teacher relationships are prioritized.
