Summary:
The city of Callisburg, Texas, is served by the Callisburg Independent School District (Isd), which includes two public schools—Callisburg High School and Callisburg Middle—serving grades 6 through 12 in a small, close-knit community.
Callisburg High School stands out for its exceptional student outcomes, boasting a 97.5% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, paired with a favorable 10:1 student-teacher ratio. Its academic performance is steady and generally near state averages in core subjects like English and Biology. In contrast, Callisburg Middle presents a more varied profile: it excels dramatically in advanced math, with 93.75% of 8th graders proficient in Algebra I—far above the state average of 54%—yet struggles with grade-level math, where only 21.54% of 7th graders met proficiency. This creates a "bimodal" performance pattern, where the middle school is both a top performer and a below-average one depending on the subject.
Key metrics reveal a district with moderate economic disadvantage (about 34-38% of students receive free or reduced lunch) and higher per-student spending at the high school ($12,825) compared to the middle school ($9,927). The district ranks in the 43rd percentile statewide, earning a 2-star rating. A notable takeaway is the "Algebra I anomaly" at the middle school, which likely reflects a selective group of advanced students, while the majority of middle schoolers struggle with math. Overall, Callisburg High School provides a supportive, stable environment for students to graduate, while Callisburg Middle offers exceptional opportunities for high achievers in math but faces challenges in bringing all students to grade-level proficiency.
