Llano Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Llano Isd

Llano ISD serves a small school-age population across Llano County in a mix of ranch, lakeside, and rural settings. The district operates four campuses: Packsaddle Elementary, Llano Elementary, Llano Junior High, and Llano High School, serving students from pre-K through grade twelve.

The district's student body is roughly three-fifths White and one-third Hispanic, with small Asian, Black, and multiracial populations. Free-or-reduced-price lunch data was not available, so a parent may want to ask the district directly about the share of students qualifying for meal assistance and the economic profile of families served.

On state testing, Llano ISD's results show a mixed profile with notable strength in reading and weaker ground in mathematics and science. In English language arts, students show broader proficiency: roughly half or more of third through eighth graders meet grade-level standards, with eighth grade performing strongest. In mathematics, proficiency is lower and more uneven. Third grade shows modest proficiency, rising to a peak in fifth grade before dropping sharply in sixth and seventh grades, then recovering in eighth. Science testing is limited to fifth and eighth grades; fifth-grade science proficiency is weak, while eighth-grade science is closer to middle ground. Eighth-grade social studies proficiency is notably low. A parent may want to ask about the specific supports being offered in math and social studies, especially at the middle school level where results dip.

In 2023, Llano voters approved bond funding for facility upgrades across all four campuses, including renovations, safety improvements, and technology investment, with no expected tax-rate increase due to refinancing and rising property values. This means families will see ongoing campus improvements over coming years.

The district also adopted a modified school calendar beginning in 2023-24, adding five four-day school weeks with students off on select Fridays. The move was made in response to high staff turnover and was designed to aid recruitment and allow family time. This scheduling change is worth understanding if childcare or family logistics matter to your household. The district reported significant teaching staff turnover in the prior years, so a parent may want to ask about current staffing stability and teacher retention efforts.

Housing in the Llano ISD area reflects a mix of rural and lakeside character. Home values are moderate compared to Texas overall and nationally, with some areas like Horseshoe Bay trending higher and rural zones like Tow lower. Mortgage affordability is reasonable relative to median household income in the state, though rental options are limited in the district's coverage area.

Enrollment data and grade-by-grade counts are reported, but high school-level test results and district graduation rate data were not provided, so a parent seeking information about college and career preparation pathways should ask the school directly. The same applies to details on special education, English learner programs, discipline policy, attendance rates, and course offerings like AP or dual-credit coursework. State testing data also does not show participation rates, so parents may want to verify testing completion rates with the district.
