What stands out about Midlothian ISD

  • Enrolment grew 17.1% here, from 9,389 students in FY2019 to 10,990 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.
