Similarly, the school's 5th grade math proficiency was 46%, compared to the district's 48% and the state's 50%. Hodge Elementary's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 1,238 out of 4,329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 (rated 4 stars) to 2,805 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023 (rated 2 stars).

Additionally, Hodge Elementary has a high percentage of students (80.13% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. These factors suggest that Hodge Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education for all its students, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address these disparities.
