Red Lick Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Red Lick Isd

Red Lick ISD is a small kindergarten through eighth-grade district in Bowie County that serves a compact, predominantly rural enrollment. The district operates two schools: an elementary campus and a middle school. The student body is largely white, with a modest representation of students from other backgrounds. Demographic data on free-and-reduced-price lunch eligibility and English learners was not available, so a parent may want to ask the district directly about the socioeconomic composition and any language-support services.

In reading and language arts, the district's students show strong proficiency. Third and fourth graders score well, with high rates meeting or exceeding state benchmarks, and sixth and eighth graders perform equally strongly. Fifth and seventh graders dip slightly in ELA proficiency, though a solid share still meet the standard. This is a clear point of academic strength across the elementary and early middle-school years.

Mathematics performance follows a different arc. The elementary grades, particularly third and fourth, show solid proficiency. By sixth grade, proficiency begins to decline noticeably, and by seventh and eighth grade, notably fewer students reach the state target. This pattern suggests the transition to middle-school math may be where students struggle to maintain pace. A parent considering this district should view this as a soft spot and may want to explore what supports are in place for students who need additional help in upper-level math.

In science and social studies, the district administered assessments to eighth graders only, with solid science proficiency but notably weaker performance in social studies. No fifth-grade science data are available; test results show only one student tested in that grade and year, making results unreliable.

Across all subjects, the district ranks in the top quartile among Bowie County districts for overall proficiency. The district also reports very low chronic absenteeism, also in the top quartile countywide, suggesting strong student engagement and reliable school attendance. Per-pupil spending is in the lower range compared to other county districts, reflecting the small size and rural setting.

The district offers enrollment to all families in its zone without selectivity. No special programs, alternative pathways, or advanced coursework were described in available data. The district's academic trajectory from elementary to middle school is readable in the state assessment results: early grades perform well, but middle-school math is an area where students tend to fall away from proficiency, and social studies proficiency is weak. For families choosing this district, the path is a straightforward elementary-into-middle progression in a small, low-absenteeism setting with particular strength in reading but caution warranted around math preparation as students enter the upper grades.
