Shelbyville Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Shelbyville Isd

Shelbyville ISD is a rural district in East Texas serving a student body of under one thousand across a single campus, spanning pre-K through grade twelve. The district's enrollment skews substantially toward white students, with smaller shares of Black and Hispanic enrollment, and fewer than a handful of Asian students. Specific counts on free- or reduced-price lunches, students with individualized education plans, and English learners were not available.

The district's academic profile reflects modest performance across tested subjects. In English language arts, students show stronger ground in the elementary and early middle grades, particularly in fourth and seventh grade, where a majority of students perform at or above the state's proficient threshold. Third grade and eighth grade dip below that midpoint in ELA. Mathematics presents a sharper challenge: proficiency drops substantially in third and fourth grades, climbs notably in fifth grade, then falls again through sixth and seventh grades before leveling slightly in eighth. Fifth grade is the district's strongest performance point across the testing years. Science proficiency in fifth grade sits modestly above the midpoint, but eighth grade science proficiency falls considerably. Eighth grade social studies proficiency is the weakest area the data shows, well below the state standard. Across all tested subjects taken together, the district's overall proficiency sits in the top quartile among Shelby County's five districts, though the county's overall performance is low. A parent may want to look into what support exists for students who do not reach proficiency, particularly in mathematics and middle-grade science.

The district operates in a housing market with median values below the state benchmark. The local economy carries a modest unemployment rate, and median household income regionally is stable. Chronic absenteeism in the district is above the county median, meaning a higher share of students miss school regularly; this can compound learning gaps. The district's per-pupil spending falls in the lower range among county peers. No data on graduation rate, high school program breadth, or workforce pathways was provided. The district has conducted no recent bond elections or publicly reported curriculum or pedagogy changes with documented dates and scope, so the trajectory and future investment priorities of the district remain unclear from available sources.
