Harts Bluff Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Harts Bluff Isd

Harts Bluff ISD is a small rural district in Titus County, Texas, serving students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. The district enrolls roughly nine hundred students across three schools: an elementary school, a middle school, and an early college high school. The student body is racially mixed, with a substantial share identifying as Hispanic and a substantial share as white, along with smaller numbers of Asian and Black students. Specific data on free and reduced-price lunch rates and special populations were not available.

Recent state testing data shows a mixed academic picture. In English language arts, the district's results vary considerably by grade. Third-grade proficiency is solid, and eighth-grade students performed notably well. Performance dips in the middle grades, with fourth, fifth, and sixth grades showing lower proficiency rates. Math proficiency is more consistently weak across the elementary and middle grades, ranging from around one-quarter to just above one-half of students meeting or exceeding standards. Science results at eighth grade and social studies at eighth grade both sit at about half of students meeting standards, though social studies proficiency is lower. When all tested subjects and grades are averaged together, the district's overall proficiency index places it above the midpoint among the county's two districts, though the absolute proficiency levels are modest.

The housing context in the district's area, based on data from Mount Pleasant, shows median home values in the lower-to-mid range regionally, with modest year-over-year declines. Rental costs are modest as well. Mortgage affordability for a typical home in the area is reasonable relative to median household income nationally, and rent represents a manageable share of income.

On attendance, the district stands out positively: chronic absenteeism is notably low compared to other districts in the county, placing the district in the top quartile. Per-pupil spending is in the lower range among county districts. A four-year graduation rate was not available in the data.

The district's recent history includes two bond elections. In May 2023, voters approved a bond that was the district's first debt-service tax rate increase; the measure funded school safety improvements and classroom and art additions. In May 2024, a larger bond package that would have funded high school classroom expansion, science labs, dining facilities, a gymnasium, and other expansions was rejected by voters. These failed capacity improvements suggest a potential mismatch between district facility needs and community appetite for tax increases, a parent may want to look into further with the district. The district's flagship program is an early college high school, positioning students for dual-credit pathways during their secondary years, though specific program details were not available. A parent considering this district should expect modest overall proficiency on state assessments, strong attendance patterns, and a student body that reflects the rural, mixed-race demographics of the area.
