Summary:
The Millsap Independent School District (Isd) serves 1,083 students across three schools—Millsap Elementary, Millsap Middle, and Millsap High School—and is ranked 291st out of 951 districts in Texas, earning a 3-star rating.
Millsap High School is the district’s standout performer, holding a 4-star rating and ranking in the 73rd percentile. It has shown consistent improvement over three years and exceeds state averages in all core EOC subjects, including Algebra I, Biology, English I, English II, and U.S. History. The high school also boasts the lowest student-teacher ratio (9.7:1) and highest per-student spending ($13,592), which correlates with its strong outcomes. In contrast, Millsap Middle is a math powerhouse, with 8th-grade Algebra I students achieving an 84.62% proficiency rate—far above the state average of 54.03%. However, its overall ranking has declined from the 79th to the 64th percentile, likely due to weaker performance in Reading and Social Studies. Millsap Elementary shows a bright spot in 3rd-grade math (68.83% proficient vs. 44.33% state average) but struggles in upper elementary grades, with proficiency rates below state averages in 4th and 5th-grade Reading and Math. Its ranking has stagnated in the 45th-51st percentile range.
A key takeaway is the inverse relationship between spending and performance: the high school, with the highest spending and smallest classes, leads academically, while the elementary school, with the lowest spending and largest classes (17:1), lags behind. The district’s 97.3% graduation rate and 0.3% dropout rate at the high school are strong, but the elementary school’s challenges suggest a need to replicate the success seen in 3rd-grade math across all grades. Overall, the district offers a mixed picture, with secondary schools excelling in key areas while the elementary school requires targeted improvement.
