Eastland Independent School District (Isd)

The Eastland Independent School District (Isd) serves 969 students across three schools—Siebert Elementary (PK-5), Eastland Middle (6-8), and Eastland High School (9-12)—and ranks in the 50th percentile among Texas districts with a 3-star rating.

Eastland Middle is the district’s standout, earning a 4-star rating and the highest state rankings (70th percentile). Its advanced math program is exceptional, with 100% of Algebra I students proficient in both 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, far exceeding state averages. In contrast, Siebert Elementary has experienced a dramatic decline, dropping from a 4-star rating (77th percentile) to a 1-star rating (29th percentile) over two years, driven by critically low math proficiency rates (e.g., 18.84% in 4th grade). Eastland High School is the most stable school, maintaining a 3-star rating with a 98.8% graduation rate and a 0.3% dropout rate, though its Algebra I proficiency (36.36%) lags behind the middle school’s perfect scores.

Key metrics reveal a district serving a significant economically disadvantaged population (54.4% free/reduced lunch) with small class sizes (student-teacher ratios from 9:1 to 13.2:1). Spending varies widely, from $8,675 per student at Siebert Elementary to $11,927 at Eastland High School, yet the middle school’s moderate spending ($9,020) yields the best results, suggesting resource allocation matters more than total spending. The district’s overall Algebra I proficiency (41.67%) is pulled down by the high school, masking the middle school’s excellence. This pattern indicates that while elementary math struggles are severe, the middle school effectively accelerates advanced learners, creating a potential turnaround point for students.
