Spurger Independent School District (Isd)

The Spurger Independent School District (Isd) is a small school district in Texas that serves two schools: Spurger Elementary and Spurger High School. The district has a majority white student population, with both schools having significantly higher percentages of white students compared to the state average.

At the elementary level, Spurger Elementary generally performs well on STAAR reading and math tests, often exceeding the state average. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 1647 in 2021-2022 to 2488 in 2023-2024, with a drop in star rating from 3 to 2. In contrast, Spurger High School struggles on STAAR EOC exams, with several subjects significantly below the state average, despite strong performance on 7th and 8th grade STAAR tests.

Both schools have a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting potential socioeconomic challenges within the district. Additionally, the district's resource allocation may be a concern, as Spurger High School spends more per student than Spurger Elementary, despite the elementary school's stronger academic performance.
