Midlothian Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Midlothian Isd

Midlothian ISD is a public school district in Ellis County, Texas, serving an enrollment spanning pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. The district encompasses a mid-sized community with a diverse student body. The most recent proficiency data available comes from the 2024-25 school year.

State assessment results show mixed performance across subjects and grade levels. In English language arts, students from third grade through eighth grade demonstrate uneven attainment. Third and fifth graders reach majority proficiency, while sixth and seventh graders perform similarly. Eighth grade results are comparable. Seventh grade math stands out as a meaningful concern, with proficiency falling to less than half. Sixth and eighth grade math results are stronger, both at solid proficiency. Overall across tested grades and subjects, the district's proficiency index places it in the top quartile among Ellis County's districts, a position reflecting reasonably competitive standing within the county comparator group.

The district enrolls a substantial student population distributed from early childhood through high school. The student body is roughly evenly split between students identifying as white and students identifying as Hispanic or Latino, with meaningful populations of Black students and smaller numbers from other backgrounds. Detailed free-and-reduced-price-lunch data and English learner enrollment were not available from the records provided, so readers may want to look into those specifics with the school district directly to understand economic composition and language-support needs.

Chronic absenteeism in the district sits above the county median, a marker that parents might explore further given its link to academic engagement. Per-pupil spending falls in the lower range among the county's districts, which could affect resource availability and program breadth.

The district has recently experienced significant voter-driven policy change. In November 2025, voters approved a bond package after rejecting a similar proposal two years earlier. The newly approved bond will fund construction of a ninth elementary school, a new career and technical education center, renovations at both the main high school and Frank Seale Middle School, technology purchases for students and staff, and new buses. The district stated the tax rate was not expected to rise as a result. This follows a November 2024 defeat of a school funding election that would have raised operating revenue; that loss prompted the district to increase class sizes in grades five through twelve from a historical ratio of twenty-five students per teacher up to twenty-six per teacher through staff reductions, a direct change to the classroom environment that families weigh differently depending on their priorities.

Growth is a defining context. The bond was motivated by enrollment projections exceeding district capacity, with elementary schools approaching or exceeding their limits. The bond addresses that capacity crunch, making infrastructure expansion a near-term reality in the district. Families considering Midlothian schools should factor in this transitional period: new construction will reshape facility options, while current and near-term classes will operate in the tighter staffing ratio environment that resulted from the funding shortfall.

The district operates two high schools and multiple elementary and middle schools. No four-year graduation rate was reported in the available data, so readers seeking high school outcomes may want to request that metric directly from the district.
