Harrold Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Harrold Isd

Harrold ISD is a small district in Wilbarger County covering kindergarten through grade 12, with an enrollment of about a hundred and fifty students spread across a single school. The student body is predominantly white, with a meaningful share of Hispanic students and smaller numbers of Black students and students of two or more races. The district sits in an area where housing values are modest, and the cost of homeownership relative to income is low, making it accessible to families on moderate budgets.

The academic picture is mixed and shows real volatility across grade levels. In English language arts, the district reaches a majority of students in third grade and performs better in sixth and eighth grade, where proficiency approaches two-thirds of students. Fourth grade is notably weaker in reading, and fifth grade falls back to below half. Math proficiency is similarly uneven. Third graders reach just under half, fourth graders approach the majority, and sixth grade jumps to a strong performance level. However, seventh and eighth grade math proficiency drops sharply to only a handful of students meeting grade-level standards, even though absolute test scores remain reasonable.

Science and social studies show pronounced challenges. A fifth-grade science assessment yielded no proficient students, though eighth graders do somewhat better with about a third meeting standards. Eighth-grade social studies proficiency stands at a low level, with only a small minority of students meeting expectations.

When viewed across all tested grades and subjects together, the district's proficiency index places it above the midpoint among Wilbarger County's districts. The district also reports a low chronic absenteeism rate, well below the county median. Per-pupil spending is notably high for the county, in the upper range among its peers, reflecting the realities of operating a small school system where fixed costs distribute across fewer students.

The pattern here suggests a district working with limited resources and thin class sizes, where academic performance depends heavily on which grade level and subject a student encounters. Some cohorts perform respectably; others struggle significantly. Families should understand that Harrold offers a small-town K-12 experience with mixed academic results and would benefit from direct conversation with the school about how it supports students across these performance variations and what remediation and enrichment look like in practice. A graduation rate figure was not available in the data.
