What stands out about Barbers Hill ISD

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +17.3% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Texas's statewide +10.1% by 7.2 points, a growth rate faster than 64% of the 1,015 Texas districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 28.0% here, from 5,732 students in FY2019 to 7,339 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
