Ratings rise, tax rate steady in Bastrop ISD

BASTROP — Bastrop Independent School District officials say they remain motivated and optimistic after the Texas Education Agency’s latest accountability ratings showed improvement across campuses.

The district’s overall score rose from a D in 2023 to a C in 2025, with measurable growth achieved in all areas, according to reports released earlier this month. While Bastrop ISD leaders look to continue the positive change, trustees also approved a tax rate that will hold steady for the coming year.
