Martinsville Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Martinsville Isd

Martinsville ISD is a small rural district serving pre-kindergarten through grade twelve across eastern Nacogdoches County. The district operates a single campus and serves a community composed primarily of white families alongside a substantial Hispanic population. Enrollment is small, with under one teacher per grade in most years.

Academic performance across the district shows uneven proficiency. In English language arts, the district demonstrates real strength, particularly in grades seven and eight, where proficiency rates reach solid levels. Grade five also performs notably well in ELA. Mathematics tells a different story. Elementary grades show modest proficiency rates, with fourth grade performing particularly low. Sixth grade math proficiency dips sharply before rebounding in seventh and eighth grades, where results improve. Science proficiency in grade five sits below ELA, while eighth grade science performs reasonably. Social studies proficiency in grade eight is weak. The data reflects a district where reading and writing skills are stronger than mathematical reasoning, and where performance tends to strengthen in the upper grades even where earlier grades struggled.

When positioned against the other districts in Nacogdoches County, Martinsville's overall proficiency index places it below the midpoint. Chronic absenteeism sits at or near the county median. Spending per student is in the upper range among county districts, which for a very small enrollment district reflects economies of scale working in reverse; small student bodies carry fixed costs that are distributed across fewer children.

A meaningful recent change for the district came through a federal EPA Clean School Bus Program grant that enabled Martinsville ISD to replace its entire diesel fleet with electric buses beginning in October 2023. For a rural district that buses students across a dispersed area, this replacement represents a lasting shift in daily operations and infrastructure. District leadership indicated the operating savings could allow the district to hire an additional teacher, though enrollment size may constrain that opportunity.

High school completion data for the district was not available. The academic profile suggests a student pathway where elementary years require particular attention in mathematics, but where reading and writing receive sufficient instructional focus to build strength by middle grades. Parents considering this district should understand it as a small-town rural setting where the school operates as a unified K-12 campus, with demonstrated capacity in language arts and identified areas where mathematics instruction could benefit from closer attention.
