Summary:
The four schools in zip code 76633, all part of the China Spring Independent School District (Isd), serve approximately 1,909 students in China Spring, TX, spanning from early elementary through high school, with a notable grade gap between the primary and middle school levels.
China Spring High School stands out as the district's academic anchor, consistently ranking in the 84th-85th percentile over three years and boasting a near-perfect 99.5% graduation rate with a 0.0% dropout rate. In contrast, Tag, a small alternative high school with only 11 students, shows extreme volatility, swinging from a 94th percentile ranking to the bottom 0th percentile, while spending nearly $40,000 per student—four times the district average—to serve a high-needs population. China Spring Middle presents a mixed academic profile, excelling in 8th-grade math (65.66% proficiency) and 7th-grade reading (69.2%), but struggling significantly in 7th-grade math (25%) and 8th-grade social studies (24.26%), both below state averages. China Spring Pri, serving PK-1, lacks test score data, creating a gap in assessing foundational learning.
A key takeaway is the proficiency drop in math from elementary to middle school, with 7th-grade math being a critical weakness that needs attention before students reach high school. The district's main schools show remarkable year-over-year consistency, indicating stable curricula and effective leadership, while Tag's volatility underscores its specialized mission for remediation or credit recovery, where traditional rankings are less meaningful. Overall, families can expect strong high school academics and a supportive district, but should be aware of the middle school's math challenges and the limited data on early elementary performance.
