RISING STAR ISD

Located at 907 N Main in Rising Star, Texas, Rising Star Independent School District is an open, traditional public school district dedicated to serving its local community. Situated in a rural remote geographic setting, this non-charter district operates two active school campuses providing a continuous educational pipeline from pre-kindergarten all the way through 12th grade. The district offers a stable, cohesive learning path, allowing students to complete their entire primary and secondary education within a single, close-knit academic environment.

With a total enrollment of 181 students—comprising 84 female and 97 male learners—Rising Star ISD exemplifies the benefits of a tight-knit small-school culture. The student body is racially diverse within its rural context, including 138 White students, 37 Hispanic students, and 6 students identifying with two or more races. Educational delivery is backed by a robust workforce of approximately 73.6 full-time equivalent staff members, including nearly 40 dedicated classroom teachers alongside instructional aides and essential support personnel. This generous staffing capacity relative to student enrollment ensures exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratios, creating an environment rich in individual attention, tailored academic instruction, and strong community connections.
