Mullin Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Mullin Isd

Mullin ISD is a small rural district serving Mills County, with a total enrollment of about two hundred students across pre-K through grade twelve. The district operates multiple campuses, including its main school and an open enrollment program, as well as several alternative schools and residential facilities. The student body is racially mixed, with a majority white enrollment alongside substantial Hispanic and Black populations.

The district made a significant structural change in 2022 by moving to a four-day school week, a decision that reshapes family routines and childcare needs. This was enabled by the district's status as a District of Innovation. The four-day calendar is a permanent feature of how this district operates, so families should factor that directly into their planning.

State assessment data from the most recent year shows persistently weak performance across core subjects. In math, proficiency is minimal in the lower and middle grades, with only a small share of third-graders and eighth-graders meeting standard. Fourth and fifth graders showed zero proficiency in math. In English language arts, results are similarly low, with most grade levels reporting minimal mastery. Science showed no proficiency in fifth grade and extremely low performance in eighth grade. Social studies proficiency at eighth grade was also very low. Across all tested subjects and grade levels combined, proficiency sits well below the county average. A parent may want to look into the district's plans for academic intervention, tutoring, or curriculum changes that address these patterns.

Chronic absenteeism is reported at a rate slightly above the midpoint among the county's districts, suggesting attendance is an area of concern but not dramatically worse than peers nearby.

The district's per-pupil spending is notably high relative to other districts in the county, placing it in the upper range. This investment level does not yet correlate with higher test outcomes, so understanding how those resources are allocated and whether they are reaching classroom instruction would be a reasonable question for families.

In terms of housing context, the county median home value falls in the mid-range, and affordability is modest by national standards. The area has a stable unemployment rate and median household income that is solid for a rural Texas county.

The district has reported recent enrollment growth, described as an unusual increase for a small rural district, which the district attributes to families actively choosing to transfer in. This is the kind of qualitative signal that sometimes precedes program or staffing changes but would be worth asking leadership about directly.

High school graduation rate data was not available in the sources provided. Families with high school students should request that information directly from the district office.
