Stockdale Independent School District (Isd)

The Stockdale Independent School District (Isd) is a small, unified district in Texas serving approximately 860 students across three schools: Stockdale Elementary (PK-5), Stockdale J H (6-8), and Stockdale High School (9-12). The district ranks in the 70th percentile statewide with a solid 3-star rating, offering a strong, above-average educational foundation for families.

Stockdale High School is the district's academic leader, earning a 4-star rating in 2024-2025 and achieving standout results in U.S. History (86.89% proficient) and English II Reading (73.17% proficient), both well above state averages. It also boasts a 91.7% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, supported by the most favorable student-teacher ratio in the district at 9.8:1 and the highest spending per student ($13,462). In contrast, Stockdale J H shines as a math powerhouse for advanced students, with 94.12% of its 8th graders proficient in Algebra I—40 percentage points above the state average—though its standard math scores in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades consistently trail state benchmarks. Stockdale Elementary provides a stable foundation with a consistent 3-star rating, performing on par with or above state averages in 5th-grade Science (44.62% vs. 29.57% state) and 3rd-grade Math (46.43% vs. state), though a notable drop in 3rd-grade reading proficiency from 64.94% to 46.43% warrants attention.

A key district-wide strength is exceptional performance in Science and Social Studies across all levels, from 5th-grade Science to high school U.S. History, indicating a robust curriculum in these subjects. However, a two-tiered math system emerges: the middle school excels at accelerating top students in Algebra I, while the high school's overall Algebra I score (43.9%) lags, likely due to later test-takers. The elementary school has the highest economic disadvantage rate (47.06% free/reduced lunch), while the middle and high schools sit around 34%. Overall, the district offers small class sizes and targeted strengths, making it a solid choice for families seeking a close-knit community with standout programs in advanced math and social studies.
