Understanding the 6/10 Rating
Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District has earned an overall SchoolDistrictFinder rating of 6/10, placing it in the average tier. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in Texas’ STAAR grades 3–8 Reading & Math assessments (2023 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Texas is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District falls near the middle of Texas on state assessment results, with reading and math proficiency close to the state median. Average-rated districts provide foundational public education, and many families find they deliver solid day-to-day learning — particularly when parents stay engaged.

Average districts often have individual schools that significantly outperform the district mean.
