Springtown Independent School District (Isd)

The Springtown Independent School District (ISD) is a mid-sized Texas district serving approximately 4,188 students across seven schools, including three elementary schools (PK-4), two middle schools (grades 5-6 and 7-8), and two high schools (9-12), and holds a solid 3-star rating, ranking in the 56th percentile statewide.

Springtown High School stands out as the district's flagship, consistently earning a 3-star rating with a strong 91.1% graduation rate and standout performance in Biology (75.97% proficient) and U.S. History (71.04% proficient), both exceeding state averages. In contrast, Porcupine Academy, an alternative high school with only 18 students, faces severe challenges with a 1-star rating, a 30.2% dropout rate, and 0% proficiency in English II Reading, highlighting a critical intervention point. The middle schools show a stark contrast: Springtown Middle excels with an exceptional 95.83% proficiency rate in Algebra I for 8th graders, while Springtown Intermediate struggles with low math proficiency, such as 31.27% in 5th grade math versus the state's 47.38%, indicating a district-wide "middle school math cliff."

Elementary performance is a mixed bag with a positive trend: all three elementary schools—Springtown Elementary, Goshen Creek Elementary, and Springtown Reno Elementary—scored above the state average in 4th grade math in the most recent data, suggesting strong foundational skills. However, spending does not correlate with performance: Reno Elementary has the highest per-student spending ($11,818) and the highest rate of economic disadvantage (63.61%), yet shares a 3-star rating with Goshen Creek Elementary, which spends the least ($9,829). The district's average economic disadvantage rate is about 45%, and the student-teacher ratio averages 13.5:1, ranging from 9:1 at Porcupine Academy to 16.4:1 at Goshen Creek Elementary.
