Ore City Independent School District (Isd)

The Ore City Independent School District (Isd) operates three schools serving students from elementary through high school. While the district faces some academic and socioeconomic challenges, Ore City High School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 613 out of 1,987 Texas high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

At the elementary level, Ore City Elementary shows mixed results, with some strengths in 5th-grade Reading and Mathematics but an overall state ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools. In contrast, Ore City Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas middle schools and struggles with low proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics.

Across the district, high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 62.14% at Ore City High School to 76.44% at Ore City Elementary, suggest that the Ore City ISD serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. This socioeconomic challenge may contribute to the academic struggles observed in some of the schools and should be considered when developing strategies for improvement.
