Small town, big pride
Located in the beautiful landscape of East Texas, in Nacogdoches County, Martinsville Independent School District is an active community of learners engaged in a wide variety of programs.
What Sets Us Apart
Low Student-To-Teacher Ratio
Martinsville ISD has a district-wide student-to-teacher ratio of 12 to 1. This enables our students to have more one-on-one instruction with our teachers and helps our students achieve their full potential.
95% Enrollment in Career and Technical Education in Grades 7-12
Martinsville ISD has a diverse set of classroom offerings in career and technical education (CTE) with multiple programs in agriculture mechanics, animal science, floriculture, and family and consumer sciences. Our students have the opportunity to explore career opportunities in over 8,000 square feet of shop space or in our newly renovated culinary kitchen. Our students are able to learn job usable skills and trades with knowledgable faculty leading them to be successful.
1:1 Computers/Hotspots, State-of-the-Art Classroom Technology, and Network Infrastructure
Martinsville ISD has made a concerted effort to be ahead of the curve with regards to putting technology in students' and teachers' hands to facilitate learning in a digital environment. Each child from PK-12 is issued a computer or tablet as well as a content filtered mobile hotspot to access our learning platforms from home. Each of our classrooms is equipped with flat-panel touch displays, which support student collaboration and sharing on the screen. Our classrooms also feature amplified sound to promote clear communication and camera technology to record lessons for remote instruction and remediation. Our network infrastructure exceeds standards for bandwidth per student and performs well to allow our students access to the information they need in the most efficient manner possible.
Commitment to Safety
Extra-Curricular Opportunities
