Summary:
The Springtown Independent School District (Isd) in Springtown, Texas, serves approximately 3,806 students across six public schools, including two elementary schools (PK-4), two middle schools (grades 5-6 and 7-8), and two high schools (9-12), with the district earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 56th percentile statewide.
Springtown High School stands out as a consistent performer with a strong 91.1% graduation rate and particular strength in Biology and U.S. History, though Algebra I remains a clear weakness. Springtown Middle presents a "two-tiered" math system: its advanced students achieve an exceptional 88.06% proficiency in Algebra I, while general 7th-grade math proficiency is just 17.09%. Springtown Elementary is a rising star, showing significant year-over-year improvement and jumping from the 48th to the 63rd percentile. In contrast, Porcupine Academy, a small alternative high school with only 18 students, is a troubled outlier with a 30.2% dropout rate and 0% proficiency in English II, significantly skewing district-wide averages.
Key metrics reveal a "middle school math cliff," where math proficiency drops dramatically from elementary levels (near state averages) to just 31.27% in 5th grade and 17.09% in 7th grade. Spending per student is relatively consistent across schools, ranging from $9,829 at Goshen Creek Elementary to $10,380 at Springtown Middle, with no clear correlation to performance. The two elementary schools serve similar demographics but show different strengths, suggesting best practices could be shared. Overall, while the district has bright spots like Springtown High School's graduation rate and Springtown Elementary's improvement, addressing the systemic math challenges in middle school and the severe issues at Porcupine Academy are critical for future success.
