Summary:
The Splendora Independent School District (Isd) serves approximately 5,684 students across six schools—four elementary schools (PK-6), one middle school, and one high school—in a predominantly rural area of Texas, ranking in the 23rd percentile statewide.
Timber Lakes Elementary is the district's standout performer, achieving a 3-star rating in the 2025-2026 ranking after a dramatic improvement from a 1-star rating, and it outperformed the district average in every subject and grade level tested. In contrast, Peach Creek Elementary consistently ranks as the lowest-performing school, with the lowest proficiency scores in math and reading despite a lower student-teacher ratio. Splendora J H is an academic powerhouse in advanced mathematics, with 76.98% of students proficient in Algebra I, far exceeding the state average of 54.03%, though the district overall struggles with math. The four elementary schools show wide variance in performance, with Greenleaf Elementary performing better than Peach Creek despite having lower spending per student and a higher rate of economic disadvantage.
Key metrics include a district-wide math crisis, with proficiency scores significantly below state averages across all grade levels, and a strong performance in Spanish-language STAAR testing at Timber Lakes and Greenleaf Elementary, suggesting effective bilingual programs. The district's graduation rate is a positive 93.3% at Splendora High School, but the high school's Algebra I proficiency of 29.57% indicates that early math success at the middle school does not translate to the broader student body. Spending per student ranges from $9,690 to $11,599, with no clear correlation to academic performance, pointing to factors like school leadership and teaching quality as key drivers of outcomes.
