Summary:
The Sunray Collegiate Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one elementary school, Sunray Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has some strengths, such as higher-than-average reading proficiency rates in certain grade levels, it also faces challenges, including lower-than-average math proficiency rates and a declining statewide ranking over the past three years.
Sunray Elementary is ranked 2186 out of 4675 Texas elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 3-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's diverse student population includes 37.31% White, 59.1% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. However, a significant portion (57.31%) of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school's academic performance on the STAAR tests has been mixed, with strengths in certain grade levels and subjects, but weaknesses in others, such as lower-than-average math proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grades.
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student ($11,234) and smaller class sizes (student-teacher ratio of 12.6), Sunray Elementary's academic performance is not consistently strong across all grade levels and subjects. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to the uneven performance and declining ranking. Targeted interventions and a closer examination of the school's practices may be necessary to support student learning and improve the overall academic outcomes for the students at Sunray Elementary.
