Aransas Pass Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Aransas Pass Isd

Aransas Pass ISD is a small district serving prekindergarten through twelfth grade across the coastal areas of San Patricio County, Texas. With an enrollment spanning the full K-12 range, the district educates a student population that is predominantly Hispanic, followed by a substantial white enrollment, with smaller numbers of Black, Asian, and multiracial students. Free-or-reduced-price-lunch data and English learner counts were not available, so the full picture of economic and language needs remains incomplete from the data provided.

The district's academic performance across state assessments shows a consistent challenge across subjects and grade levels. In English language arts, proficiency varies by grade, with fourth grade reaching about half of students meeting the standard, while third grade sits notably lower. Middle grades in ELA show proficiency in the low-to-mid range. Mathematics presents a steeper decline, with proficiency dropping sharply as students progress through middle school; by eighth grade, very few students meet the standard. Science proficiency at the fifth-grade level is quite low, though eighth graders show somewhat better performance. Social studies at eighth grade also shows limited proficiency. Across all tested subjects, the district's overall proficiency sits in the bottom quartile among San Patricio County's districts, suggesting performance trails that of peer districts in the region.

The district does show one relative strength: chronic absenteeism sits in the top quartile countywide, meaning students are attending school more consistently than the typical San Patricio district. This is a meaningful foundation for learning, though attendance alone does not close the achievement gaps evident in test results. Per-pupil current spending is in the lower range among county districts, which may reflect both the district's smaller size and budget constraints.

A significant recent development affects the district's trajectory. In November 2025, Aransas Pass ISD held its first-ever Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election, proposing a three-cent increase to the maintenance-and-operations tax rate while holding the total district rate flat. The measure failed at the polls. Had it passed, the district would have gained substantial recurring operational funding plus state matching dollars tied to enrollment. That lost revenue now represents a continuing budget constraint that will shape the resources available to schools and instruction. A parent or resident evaluating this district may want to look into how leadership is adapting to these fiscal limits and what that means for classroom staffing, materials, and programs.

Graduation rate data for the district was not available. State testing results are complete for the grades and subjects reported, offering a clear if sobering picture of where students stand in math and reading. The data does not explain the specific causes of low proficiency, such as staffing levels, curriculum implementation, or the effect of any recent leadership or instructional changes, so families seeking those details would benefit from direct conversations with school leaders.
