Smithville Independent School District (Isd)

The Smithville Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates four schools, including two elementary schools (Smithville Elementary and Brown Pri), one middle school (Smithville J H), and one high school (Smithville High School). The district serves a diverse student population, with varying academic performance and resource allocation across the schools.

Smithville Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking among the top elementary schools in Texas and outperforming the district and state averages in 3rd and 4th grade reading and math assessments. In contrast, Smithville J H struggles with low math proficiency rates, an area that the district may need to address. Smithville High School maintains a strong graduation rate and low dropout rate, indicating successful student retention efforts, but lags behind in Algebra I assessments.

The district as a whole serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 50% to nearly 70%. Notably, Smithville Elementary receives significantly more funding per student than the other schools in the district, which may contribute to its higher academic performance. The racial makeup of the schools also varies, with Smithville J H being the most diverse and Brown Pri having the highest percentage of white students.
