San Saba Independent School District (Isd)

The San Saba Independent School District (Isd) operates three schools in the area, serving students from elementary through high school. While the middle and high schools in the district demonstrate strong academic performance, the San Saba Elementary school consistently underperforms, with significantly lower proficiency rates in reading and math compared to state averages.

At the middle and high school levels, the district shines. San Saba Middle School outperforms the district and state in STAAR Reading proficiency, and San Saba High School achieves a high 4-year graduation rate of 94.9% and exceeds the district and state in several STAAR EOC exams. However, the elementary school's consistent underperformance suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the academic challenges faced by its predominantly low-income student population.

Across the district, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.67% to 78.57%, indicates that the San Saba ISD serves a community with significant economic challenges. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the performance gaps observed, particularly at the elementary level. Ensuring equitable distribution of resources and tailored support for the district's schools could help address these disparities and improve educational outcomes for all students in the San Saba ISD.
