Sudan Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Sudan Isd

Sudan ISD is a small rural district serving the towns of Sudan and surrounding communities in Lamb County. The district operates two campuses, an elementary school and a high school, and enrolls a modest-sized student body in grades pre-K through twelve. The student population is evenly divided between Hispanic and white students, with smaller numbers of Black and multiracial students.

On state assessments administered in spring 2025, Sudan ISD's proficiency results show a mixed picture with notable strengths in reading and some concerning gaps in mathematics and science. In English language arts, the district performs solidly in grades four, six, seven, and eight, with substantial majorities of students meeting or exceeding grade-level standards. Third and fifth grade ELA results are weaker, though still approaching proficiency. Math proficiency is more uneven. Grades three, four, and six show reasonable performance, but grade five mathematics is a particular soft spot, with only about a quarter of students meeting proficiency. Grade seven math also shows a modest performance drop. Science proficiency is lowest across all subjects; grade five science saw particularly poor results, while grade eight science performance is closer to the district median. Grade eight social studies performance was also notably low. The data presented does not provide trend information to show whether these results reflect recent changes or longstanding patterns; a parent may want to look into this further with the school.

In the context of Lamb County's four districts, Sudan ISD ranks in the top quartile on overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades, positioning it as one of the stronger performers in the county by this measure. The district also reports very low chronic absenteeism, placing it at the top of the county comparison. Per-pupil spending is in the middle-to-upper range for the county.

The median home value in Sudan and nearby communities served by the district sits well below the Texas state benchmark, making housing costs notably affordable. The local housing market has softened slightly in recent years but remains stable. Labor market conditions in the area are steady, with unemployment near national levels.

District leadership has maintained the Innovation designation, allowing for some flexibility in calendar and operational decisions, though no recent major shifts in school schedule or instructional model could be confirmed. The district appears to operate as a traditional public system with stable, longstanding operations rather than one undergoing major programmatic change.
