Douglass Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Douglass Isd

Douglass ISD is a small district in Nacogdoches County serving students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12. The enrollment is modest, distributed across fourteen grade levels. The district's student body is predominantly white, with Hispanic and Black students representing smaller shares. Race and ethnicity data are reported; free-or-reduced-price-lunch status was not available, so economic profile cannot be fully characterized from the data provided.

The 2024-25 state testing results show an uneven academic picture. English language arts is a relative strength across elementary and middle grades. Grade 3 proficiency stands in the upper-middle range, and by grades 5 and 6, proficiency climbs notably. Grades 7 and 8 sustain solid performance as well. Mathematics tells a different story. Early elementary grades (3 through 5) show proficiency rates below the midpoint. Grade 6 rises sharply, then grade 7 drops to very low proficiency. Grade 8 rebounds to moderate levels. Science proficiency in grade 5 is weak, though it improves in grade 8. Social studies, tested only in grade 8, sits at about the midpoint.

When proficiency is aggregated across all tested subjects and grades, Douglass ISD sits above the midpoint among Nacogdoches County's eight districts. The district ranks in the top quartile for chronic absenteeism, meaning fewer students are chronically absent, which is a positive marker for engagement. Per-pupil spending falls in the middle range, lower half, among county peers.

The district's academic profile suggests an ELA foundation that is reasonably solid, paired with gaps in elementary mathematics that deserve attention. A parent might want to explore with the school whether grade 7 mathematics has been flagged as a focus area and what support exists for students entering high school with uneven preparation.

A significant recent change: in 2021, voters approved a bond that funded a multipurpose facility, four labs, five classrooms, and a new gymnasium with a competition-sized stage. The project opened in fall 2024 and consolidated students under one roof. As a voter-approved general-obligation bond, it carries lasting tax implications. Families considering the district should be aware that this facility investment was backed by property tax increases and will affect the district's long-term financial obligations.

High school graduation rate data were not available. No information about AP courses, career and technical programs, or other secondary pathways was in the data provided. The district's website was also not available, so current program offerings and district priorities remain unclear from public sources reviewed.

Douglass is located in Nacogdoches County. The housing market in the district's service area shows home values in a moderate range and rents also modest. The economic context shows an unemployment rate slightly above historical norms and a median household income in the region that is solid by national standards.
