Summary:
The Paint Rock Independent School District (Isd) is a small, rural district in Texas comprising five schools, serving grades PK-12, and ranking in the 6th percentile statewide, indicating very low overall academic performance.
The district's primary institution is Paint Rock School, an alternative school housing 71% of all students (about 213) and serving grades PK-12. It reports a perfect 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, yet its test scores are mostly below state averages, with notable exceptions like 76.47% proficiency in Biology and 72.22% in U.S. History. In contrast, Paint Rock Panther Academy is the strongest relative performer among high schools, achieving the district's highest proficiency in English II Reading (66.67%) and U.S. History (60%), despite ranking in the 1st percentile statewide. Garza County Rjc consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools, with test scores almost universally below the district average. The remaining two schools, Mosaic Academy and Paint Rock Frontier Academy, have very small enrollments (29 and 11 students, respectively) and sparse test data, making academic assessment difficult.
Key metrics reveal high spending per student ($15,118 at Paint Rock School) with low results, and very low student-teacher ratios (as low as 5:1) that do not translate into academic success. Test scores show significant year-over-year volatility, such as Biology proficiency at Paint Rock School swinging from 18.75% to 76.47% in one year, a common issue in small schools. For parents, this district offers a unique structure where an alternative school serves as the main provider, with high graduation rates but inconsistent subject performance, suggesting that while students may complete their education, mastery of core subjects varies widely by grade and subject.
