Early Independent School District (Isd)

The Early Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates four schools, including two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district serves a diverse student population with a majority white demographic and a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

The standout school in the district is Early High School, which ranks in the top 10% of Texas high schools and has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years. With a 98.9% four-year graduation rate and students significantly outperforming their peers statewide on STAAR end-of-course exams, Early High School is delivering an exceptional education. In contrast, the district's elementary and middle schools, while still performing well, have higher percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the presence of socioeconomic challenges that the district is working to address.

Across the district, the schools maintain small class sizes and spend between $11,274 and $12,487 per student annually, which is in line with the state average. This consistency in resource allocation and student-teacher ratios suggests that the district has implemented effective policies and support systems to benefit students at all grade levels. As the district continues to build on its academic successes, it may also have opportunities to further embrace and celebrate the racial diversity present in its student populations, providing a more inclusive learning environment for all.
