Summary

Harts Bluff Elementary in Mount Pleasant, TX, serves 473 students in grades PK-5 and is the only elementary school in the Harts Bluff Independent School District (Isd), a small district where about 65% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

While the school spends a competitive $11,053 per student, its academic performance has been inconsistent and is currently in a downward trend, ranking in the 31st percentile (2 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year. This is significantly lower than nearby schools in the Mount Pleasant Independent School District (Isd), such as Annie Sims Elementary (80th percentile) and E C Brice Elementary (76th percentile). The most pressing concern is mathematics, where proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades all fall well below the state average. For example, only 29% of 3rd graders met the math standard, compared to 44% statewide. The school also struggles to support its English Language Learner (ELL) students, with Spanish-language reading scores that are far below state averages and much weaker than the strong programs at nearby E C Brice Elementary.

On a positive note, Harts Bluff has a bright spot in 5th Grade Science, where 34% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, beating the state average of 30%. However, the school’s overall volatility—swinging from a 54th percentile ranking in 2024-2025 to a 31st percentile in 2025-2026—suggests instability in instruction or curriculum. For parents comparing options, the nearby Mount Pleasant ISD schools consistently outperform Harts Bluff across nearly all academic metrics, making them strong alternatives to consider.
