Honey Grove Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Honey Grove Isd

Honey Grove Independent School District is a small district in Fannin County, serving about a modest student population in a rural area. The district operates three schools: an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school, serving grades PreK through 12. The student body is predominantly white, with meaningful representation of Hispanic and multiracial students.

Academic performance on state assessments reveals a pattern. In elementary grades, reading and math proficiency sits in the range where roughly half of students meet grade-level standards, with third-grade math and reading both near this level. Performance strengthens notably by middle grades. Seventh-grade math shows strong achievement, while eighth-grade performance is markedly better across subjects: math proficiency reaches a solid level, reading approaches that mark, and science clears it as well. Eighth-grade social studies is a notable soft spot, with only about a third of students meeting that standard. This dip in social studies may be worth exploring with the district to understand whether it reflects a particular curriculum challenge or resource gap in that subject.

Overall, the district's proficiency index places it in the top quartile among Fannin County's districts, an above-midpoint position within its county peer group. Chronic absenteeism is also well-controlled compared to county counterparts, sitting in the top quartile. These measures suggest a district where attendance and engagement matter and show measurable results.

Housing in the district's service area, drawn from several towns including Honey Grove, Bonham, and surrounding communities, is modestly valued. Home prices reflect a rural North Texas market, lower than the state benchmark. Mortgage affordability is relatively favorable in absolute terms, and median household income sits at a solid level. This is a place where families of modest to middle incomes can afford entry, an important factor for families considering where to settle.

In November 2025, voters approved a local property tax increase dedicated to teacher compensation, with the explicit goal of paying teachers above the state average to improve recruitment and retention. This is a concrete signal that the community values education investment and that families can expect ongoing effort to attract and hold experienced staff, a meaningful variable in school quality over time.

The district does not report a four-year graduation rate in available data; state testing data for high school subjects was not provided, which is typical for districts of this size where some grades or subjects fall below reporting thresholds. A parent considering this district may want to request graduation outcomes and high school course offerings directly from the district office to complete the picture for students heading toward high school.
