Summary:
The Bloomington Independent School District (Isd) in Texas serves approximately 585 students across three public schools—Bloomington High School, Bloomington Elementary, and Bloomington J H—and faces significant systemic challenges, ranking in the 3rd percentile of all Texas school districts with over 77% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
Among the three schools, Bloomington High School stands out as the most stable performer, consistently earning a "1-star" rating over the past three years (peaking at the 23rd percentile) and spending the most per student at $16,661. In contrast, Bloomington Elementary is the epicenter of the district's crisis, with critically low proficiency rates such as 8.51% in 3rd-grade reading and just 5.56% in 5th-grade math. Bloomington J H presents a paradox: while it struggles profoundly in standard subjects like 8th-grade Social Studies (4.55% proficient), it achieves an elite 80% proficiency rate in Algebra I, a remarkable 48 points above the state average.
Key metrics reveal a district in decline, with all schools trending downward in rankings. The high school's strongest subject is U.S. History (55.56% proficient), while its English I Reading is weakest (28.13%). The elementary school's 0% 5th-grade Science proficiency in 2024-2025 is a critical red flag. Despite higher spending at the high school ($16,661 per student vs. $10,484 at the middle school), performance remains well below state averages, highlighting that resource allocation is crucial. The district's 84.3% graduation rate and 1.8% dropout rate further underscore the uphill battle these schools face in preparing students for future success.
