Henrietta Independent School District (Isd)

The Henrietta Independent School District (Isd) serves 886 students across three schools—Henrietta Elementary, Henrietta Middle, and Henrietta High School—in a small Texas community, with the district ranking in the 48th percentile statewide.

Henrietta High School is the district’s standout, consistently earning 3- or 4-star ratings and ranking in the 79th percentile. It boasts a 95.5% graduation rate, a 0.0% dropout rate, and strong humanities and science scores—U.S. History proficiency hits 82.81% versus the state’s 70.17%. However, its Algebra I proficiency (46.55%) lags behind the state average (54.03%). In contrast, Henrietta Middle has declined sharply from a 69th percentile ranking to the 41st percentile, with math struggles evident in 7th grade (13.95% proficient vs. 29.41% state). Interestingly, its 8th graders taking Algebra I excel at 73.68% proficiency, far outpacing the high school’s results. Henrietta Elementary faces the highest economic need (54.98% free/reduced lunch) and the lowest per-student spending ($10,702), with math proficiency well below state averages—5th grade math is just 25.86% compared to 47.38% statewide.

Key takeaways include a potential resource misalignment: the high school spends $16,776 per student with the lowest economic need, while the elementary school spends the least despite the highest need. The middle school’s rapid decline and the elementary’s foundational math weaknesses are critical concerns, though the high school’s humanities and science programs are clear strengths. Parents should note the district’s uneven performance across levels, with the high school offering strong outcomes but earlier grades requiring attention.
