Splendora Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Splendora Isd

Splendora ISD is a district serving pre-K through 12th grade across a sprawling area in Montgomery County that includes the towns of Splendora, New Caney, Cleveland, Dayton, and parts of Conroe. The district enrolls a substantial number of students across elementary, middle, and high school campuses. The student body is roughly evenly split between Hispanic and White students, with meaningful populations of Black and Asian students as well. Housing values in the district's footprint are moderate, trending slightly down year-over-year, and rents have risen modestly. The area sits in an active growth phase; two major bond elections in 2022 and 2025 reflect rapid enrollment expansion, with district officials projecting significant student growth over the coming years.

State assessment results show broadly weak performance across subjects and grade levels. In English language arts, elementary grades perform somewhat better—third and fourth grade proficiency rates hover around one-third to one-half—while math proficiency lags considerably, with most elementary grades below one-third meeting grade-level standards. By middle school, math proficiency drops further; eighth-grade math and social studies proficiency rates are particularly low, in the low teens. Eighth-grade reading is a relative strength at approximately one-half proficiency. Science proficiency in eighth grade sits at around one-third. Across all tested subjects, only a modest share of students reach the "meets" level; the bulk of students who test proficient do so at the "approaches" threshold. Trend data was available only for the current year, so growth or change over time cannot be assessed from the available information.

The district's accountability rating fell sharply in 2024-25 to a D, down from a sustained B rating since the state's A-F system began. In response, the district adopted new curriculum programs districtwide: Eureka Math for grades K-5, Carnegie Math for eighth grade, McGraw-Hill Science for grades 3-12, and Amplify Reading for grades K-6. These changes represent a systemic recalibration and are worth monitoring; the full impact will become clearer as they mature.

Among Montgomery County's six districts, Splendora ISD ranks below the midpoint in overall proficiency. The district's chronic absenteeism rate sits above the county median, suggesting a potential headwind for student engagement. Per-pupil spending is in the upper range among county peers, though this has not yet translated into higher test outcomes.

The district is in the midst of substantial capital transformation. The 2022 bond funded a high school expansion, a new junior high, and replacement campuses for two elementary schools. A second bond approved in May 2025 supports an additional junior high, further high school additions, and land acquisition for future growth. Neither bond raised the tax rate. This infrastructure investment reflects both the demographic pressure the district faces and a commitment to managing growth, but it also means the physical footprint of student attendance and campus assignments will shift materially over the next few years. Families considering the district would be wise to verify which schools their children would attend and whether they are among those being replaced or expanded.

Splendora ISD is a growth district with modest housing costs and community investment in facilities. It is also a district whose academic outcomes currently lag its county peers and whose accountability standing has declined notably. The curriculum changes are deliberate steps to address those gaps, but they are recent and unproven. This is a place suited to families who value affordability, new facilities, and long-term community commitment, while also accepting that near-term academic results are weak and that improvement will take time.
