What stands out about Tidehaven ISD

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +16.0% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Texas's statewide +10.1% by 5.8 points, a growth rate faster than 60% of the 1,015 Texas districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 6.7% here, from 979 students in FY2019 to 1,045 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.
