Summary:
The Whitesboro Independent School District (Isd) is a small, unified district in Texas serving approximately 1,802 students across four schools from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade, earning a 3-star rating and ranking 362nd out of 951 districts in the state.
Within the district, Whitesboro Middle stands out as the academic powerhouse, consistently outperforming state averages in Reading and achieving extraordinary success in advanced math—with 89.74% of its Algebra I students proficient, far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. In contrast, Whitesboro High School presents a mixed picture: it excels in Biology (85.83% proficient, 15 points above the state) and English, but struggles significantly in Algebra I (34.91% proficient) and U.S. History. The district also shows a notable "intermediate slump" at Whitesboro Intermediate (grades 3-5), where every test score in Reading and Math fell below state averages, while Hayes Pri (PK-2) has no standardized test data available for comparison.
Key metrics reveal interesting patterns: the High School spends the most per student ($13,098) but has the lowest overall performance relative to the state, while the Middle School spends the least ($9,580) yet achieves the highest results. Economic disadvantage is high across all schools, ranging from 57.48% at the High School to 67.48% at Hayes Pri. The district maintains a solid graduation rate of 93.6% and a low dropout rate of 1.0%, though the High School's rate is slightly higher at 1.5%. The successful Algebra I pipeline from middle school to high school suggests effective acceleration for top math students, but the sharp decline in high school Algebra I scores indicates a need for better support for students who do not take the course early.
