Redwater Independent School District (Isd)

The Redwater Independent School District (Isd) is a small, highly-rated district in Texas serving approximately 1,103 students across four campuses, including Redwater Elementary (PK-3), Redwater Intermediate (4-6), Redwater J H (7-8), and Redwater High School (9-12).

The district's standout school is Redwater High School, which boasts an exceptional 97.5% graduation rate and significantly outperforms the state in all core subjects, especially English I Reading. Redwater Elementary provides a strong academic foundation, being the only campus where all tested subjects exceed state averages. However, Redwater J H presents a mixed picture: it excels in advanced math, with 100% of 8th graders proficient in Algebra I, but struggles dramatically with 7th-grade math, where only 15.52% of students are proficient. Redwater Intermediate shows a dip in 4th-grade math performance compared to the elementary school.

Key takeaways for parents include a critical "7th Grade Math Problem" at the junior high that needs attention, contrasted with a highly effective "Algebra I Pipeline" from 8th grade through high school. The district maintains very favorable student-teacher ratios (9.4:1 to 11.4:1), and per-student spending varies widely, from $8,040 at the intermediate school to $14,844 at the high school, though this spending disparity does not directly correlate with academic performance. Overall, the district ranks in the 85th percentile statewide, indicating strong performance, but the uneven middle school results suggest specific transition points require targeted support.
