Summary

Harts Bluff Early College High School in Mount Pleasant, TX, is a small, rural school serving 224 students in grades 9-12 within the Harts Bluff Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in Biology and English I Reading, where it consistently beats both the state average and nearby schools like Mount Pleasant High School. For example, 83% of students are proficient in Biology compared to 71% at Mount Pleasant. However, the school shows a puzzling weakness in U.S. History, where proficiency has dropped sharply from 91% to 64% over two years, now falling below the state average. This is a key area of concern for parents. The school also spends significantly less per student ($5,852) than any comparable school in the area—less than half of what Rivercrest High School spends ($15,600)—yet still achieves strong results for its economically disadvantaged and Hispanic student populations, who earn 4-star ratings.

A critical challenge is the school's performance for Special Education students, which has plummeted to the 6th percentile statewide—the worst among all subgroups. This, combined with volatile overall ratings (ranging from 4 stars to 3 stars in recent years), suggests that while the school is resource-efficient, it may struggle to provide consistent support in all areas. For parents, this means Harts Bluff offers strong academics in key subjects and for many students, but families with children needing Special Education services or those concerned about U.S. History instruction should investigate further.
