Oglesby Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Oglesby Isd

Oglesby ISD is a small rural district in Coryell County that serves students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12, with enrollment of around two hundred students. The district operates a single school building. The student body is predominantly white, with a smaller Hispanic population and very few students from other racial or ethnic backgrounds.

Academic performance across the district shows uneven results. In English language arts, students generally perform better than in math. ELA proficiency reaches stronger levels in grades 7 and 8, where most students meet or exceed standards, while grades 4 and 5 show lower proficiency. Math is a weaker area districtwide. Grade 3 math proficiency is in the low-to-middle range, grade 4 dips below that, and grade 5 shows particularly low results. Performance recovers somewhat by grade 8. Science proficiency is mixed; grade 5 science shows less than half of students meeting standards, while grade 8 science results improve. Social studies proficiency in grade 8, the only tested grade in that subject, is notably low. Across all tested subjects and grades combined, the district's proficiency index places it above the midpoint among Coryell County's three districts, a meaningful position given that the county comparison is the relevant peer group.

The district shows a strength in attendance. Chronic absenteeism is significantly lower here than in the other two Coryell County districts, placing Oglesby in the top quartile for the county. This points to a school community where families are engaged with attendance expectations or where barriers to regular school participation may be lower than elsewhere in the area.

A parent may want to look further into the district's math instruction and support, given the pattern of below-average results in that subject, particularly at the elementary level. The lack of reported graduation rate data is notable; this may reflect the small size of the high school cohort, typical of very small districts where a few students can create reporting gaps.

The district is experiencing rapid enrollment growth. In May 2025, voters approved a bond package described as the first school infrastructure investment in decades. The bond funded a new Career and Technical Education facility and a shared athletic field for football, baseball, and softball. A companion proposition paid down existing debt, freeing recurring funds for the operating budget. This infrastructure expansion reflects the district's response to growing enrollment and signals that the community is committed to maintaining and improving its schools despite the district's small size. Per-pupil current spending sits in the upper half of the county's middle range, a reasonable position for a district managing growth and recent capital investment.

Housing in the district's service area is relatively affordable compared to state and national benchmarks. Median home values are moderate, and rental affordability sits within reasonable range for families with typical area household incomes.
