Menard Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Menard Isd

Menard ISD serves a small rural district in Menard County with enrollment spanning prekindergarten through grade 12 across two schools: an elementary and junior high building and a separate high school. The student body is nearly evenly split between Hispanic and white students, with very few students from other backgrounds. The district operates in a region where housing values are modest and slightly below the Texas state benchmark.

State testing results for the district show uneven performance across grades and subjects. In English language arts, third grade students demonstrate solid proficiency, while reading comprehension remains a relative strength through the middle grades, with sixth graders showing particularly strong results. Math proficiency is consistently lower, with fourth grade testing especially weak. Science results are notably limited, with only a small share of fifth and eighth graders meeting proficiency benchmarks. Eighth grade social studies performance is the stronger performance area among tested content. The pattern suggests that ELA instruction may be more effective than math, and that science may warrant closer attention. A parent considering this district may want to ask the schools directly about their approach to mathematics instruction and their plans to strengthen science outcomes.

The district reported only current-year test data, so trends are not available. The latest results reflect the spring of 2025.

High school details, including graduation rates, course offerings, and college pathways, were not provided in the available data. Similarly, information about English learner services, special education, staffing, or attendance patterns did not accompany the profile. The district's strategic priorities and any recent changes to curriculum, calendar, or school operations were not confirmed in accessible sources.

The comparison set for Menard ISD indicated that no other districts within Menard County were available for comparison, limiting perspective on how this district's performance stands relative to its immediate peers. The district's small enrollment and rural location mean that resources and program depth may differ substantially from larger neighboring districts, a context any parent should weigh when evaluating fit for their child's needs.
