Summary:
Gunter Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has one elementary school, Gunter Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 414 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with a significant Hispanic minority, and relatively low rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it may serve a more affluent community.
Gunter Elementary's academic performance has been mixed, with 3rd-grade reading and math proficiency rates that are sometimes higher and sometimes lower than the state average. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined significantly in recent years, dropping from 516th out of 4,581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 2,789th out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state, despite its higher-than-average spending per student and low student-teacher ratio.
While Gunter ISD appears to be allocating significant resources to Gunter Elementary, the school's inconsistent test score trends and declining statewide ranking indicate that more work may be needed to improve academic outcomes and ensure the school is keeping pace with its peers across Texas. Further analysis of the school's specific challenges and strategies for addressing them could provide valuable insights for the district and the community.
