Harleton Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Harleton Isd

Harleton ISD serves pre-K through twelfth grade across a small rural district in Harrison County, Texas. The district encompasses the towns of Harleton, Diana, and Jefferson, with a student enrollment that is modest in size. The population of the district is predominantly white, with smaller shares of Hispanic students, students of two or more races, and a small Black student population.

The academic profile shows mixed performance across subjects and grades. In English language arts, the district demonstrates strength, particularly at the upper elementary and middle school levels, where proficiency rates are above the halfway mark. Grades five through eight show especially solid proficiency in ELA. Math proficiency is less consistent; fourth grade shows lower performance, while grades five through eight improve, with eighth grade reaching a moderate level. Science testing is available only for grades five and eight; eighth-grade science proficiency stands at about half, while fifth-grade results are too limited to report reliably. Social studies proficiency in eighth grade is in the middle range.

The data reveals a district where reading and writing skills are reasonably well-developed by middle school, but mathematics proficiency is uneven in the elementary grades before stabilizing in the middle years. Students in grades three and four in math showed particular challenges that parents may want to discuss with the school, as growth in those foundational years can affect later progress. Science is tested in limited grades, so a fuller picture of science learning outcomes is not available in this data.

Chronic absenteeism in the district is low compared to other districts in Harrison County, suggesting strong attendance patterns and engagement. The district's overall proficiency index ranks in the top quartile among its county peers, despite the variable performance by grade and subject. This reflects competitive standing locally, though parents evaluating the school should review specific grade-level and subject results relevant to their child.

Harleton ISD is organized into three schools: an elementary school, a junior high, and a high school. Housing values in the district communities are modest, with a weighted median around the low-to-mid range compared to state and national benchmarks. The area's economic conditions show steady employment, though mortgage costs relative to income suggest housing is reasonably accessible for families in the region.

The district's per-pupil spending sits in the lower-middle range compared to other Harrison County districts, which is typical for a smaller rural system. Information about advanced programming, career pathways, specialized courses, or recent strategic initiatives was not available in the data provided, so a parent interested in those details should reach out directly to the district. State assessment data for the most recent year is the only trend information available; historical comparison was not possible from the provided records.
