Summary

Harrold School is a small, rural K-12 alternative school in Harrold, TX, serving 154 students within the Harrold Independent School District (Isd), and is the only school in its area, making it a uniquely tight-knit community with a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 10:1 and high per-pupil spending over $18,000.

The school’s most remarkable achievement is its perfect record of student retention and graduation, maintaining a 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate for at least the last five years. This is supported by exceptional high school performance on End-of-Course (EOC) exams, where students consistently outperform state averages in Biology, English I & II Reading, and Algebra I. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, 82.61% of students were proficient in Biology versus 70.51% statewide, and 68.18% were proficient in Algebra I versus 54.03% statewide. However, the school shows a "tale of two schools" pattern: elementary and middle school math scores are volatile and often below state averages, likely due to very small class sizes where a few students can swing percentages dramatically. Additionally, U.S. History is a consistent weakness, with only 45.45% proficiency in 2025-2026 compared to 70.17% statewide.

For parents, this means Harrold School is an exceptionally supportive environment that prioritizes keeping every student on track to graduate, with intensive resources and personalized attention. While early academic performance in math can be inconsistent, the high school program is a clear success story, suggesting the school’s investment pays off in later years. With no nearby schools for comparison, Harrold stands out as a safe, stable choice where students are well-prepared for high school success and graduation.
