Carlisle Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Carlisle Isd

Carlisle ISD is a small district in Rusk County serving roughly a sixth grade span across one school building. The enrollment is mixed by race and ethnicity, with a substantial plurality of Hispanic students, a sizable share of white students, and smaller populations of Black and multiracial students. Exact free-or-reduced-price-lunch counts and English learner rates were not provided in the available data.

On state testing, the district's performance is mixed by subject and grade. In English language arts, the district performs better in the middle and upper elementary grades, with a notably stronger result in grade six. Math performance across elementary grades remains below the state baseline, with particular weakness in grades three and six; performance improves noticeably by grade eight. Science shows moderate strength at the fifth-grade level but drops in eighth grade. Social studies proficiency in grade eight is notably low. Overall, the district's proficiency index places it above the median among Rusk County's other districts, though still below the county's highest performer.

A bright spot in the district's operational profile is chronic absenteeism, which is markedly better than the county peer group and sits in the top quartile countywide. Per-pupil spending is in the upper range for the county.

The district sits in a region where housing values are below the state average and the price-to-income ratio remains accessible. No recent major bond referenda, curriculum shifts, policy changes, or structural reforms were identified in publicly reported sources, suggesting a stable, continuity-focused operational environment.

Parents considering Carlisle should recognize that this is a small, single-building district with uneven academic results. The strength in attendance and the better-than-median overall performance among county peers are genuine assets, but the math weakness in early grades and the notably low social studies performance in eighth grade may warrant direct conversation with the school about remediation, intervention, or enrichment pathways. The small size means limited course breadth at the high school level; families seeking extensive AP offerings or specialized pathways may find the menu constrained. The district's stability and low absenteeism suggest a generally functional environment, but the academic profile is not uniformly strong and does not indicate a turnaround in progress.
