Summary

Blum Independent School District (ISD) is a small, rural school district in Blum, TX, serving 334 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade, with a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for the most recent school year. The district stands out for its exceptional high school performance, particularly on STAAR End-of-Course exams in English I Reading, English II Reading, and Biology, where it consistently outperforms both the state average and nearby schools like Morgan School, Covington School, and Kopperl School. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Blum's English II Reading proficiency rate was 80.95%, far exceeding the state average of 56.22% and Morgan's 22.22%.

Blum also shows a remarkable strength in 7th-grade mathematics, with a 62.96% proficiency rate in 2024-2025—double the state average of 31.12% and dramatically higher than Covington's 25%, Kopperl's 11.11%, and Morgan's 0%. This pattern is consistent over multiple years, suggesting a targeted and effective instructional approach at this grade level. However, the district has a clear dichotomy: while high school and 7th-grade scores are strong, elementary grades (3rd-6th) generally struggle to meet state averages, especially in math and science. For instance, 5th-grade science proficiency was just 4.35% in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 29.57%.

Blum achieves these results with notably efficient resource allocation, spending just $10,576 per student in 2020-2021—far less than Covington ($24,035), Kopperl ($13,513), and Morgan ($13,123). This suggests that Blum's success is driven by effective teaching strategies and a strong school culture rather than financial resources. The district's consistent graduation and dropout rates further indicate a supportive environment that keeps students on track. For parents, Blum ISD offers a small, close-knit setting with standout high school academics and a unique 7th-grade program, though families should be aware of the need for additional support in elementary math and science.
