In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.
A three-room box house replaced the log school after more than fifteen years of use.
The original two-story building features a plaque dated 1938–1940 (Geraldine Griswold, however, reports that 1942 is more accurate).
Originally, a barracks building housed the cafeteria and home economics - a purpose-built structure was built in 1954.
That building currently consists of a computer lab, the library, a workroom, and the school counselor's office.
Recent superintendents have been: Wes Corzine - 2022–present; Troy Roberts - 2016-2022; Cheryl Floyd - 2002–2016; Charles Luke - 2000–2002; Arley Echols - 1990–2000.
