Marble Falls Independent School District (Isd)

The Marble Falls Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 605 out of 968 school districts in Texas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, Spicewood Elementary and Colt Elementary stand out as the top-performing schools, consistently scoring above the district and state averages on STAAR tests, with 57-73% and 41-58% of students proficient or better in reading and math, respectively. In contrast, Marble Falls Elementary and Highland Lakes Elementary perform below the district and state averages. The small Falls Career High School also stands out, with a high 91.9% graduation rate and a low 4.4% dropout rate, despite its lower test scores.

Socioeconomic factors appear to play a significant role in student achievement within the Marble Falls ISD, as the schools with the highest percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, such as Highland Lakes Elementary and Marble Falls Elementary, tend to have lower test scores. Additionally, the district exhibits a wide range in spending per student, from $10,254 at Marble Falls Middle to $17,590 at Falls Career High School, which raises questions about resource allocation and its impact on student outcomes across the district.
