Summary

Mumford Elementary is a small, rural PK-6 school in Mumford, TX, serving 369 students and serving as the sole campus of the Mumford Independent School District (Isd), which has earned a perfect 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the top 1% of all Texas districts.

This school is a standout academic performer in the region, consistently earning 5-star ratings and ranking in the top 10% of Texas elementary schools over the past decade. Its most recent ranking places it in the 93rd percentile statewide, a stark contrast to nearby schools like Hearne Elementary (9th percentile) and many Bryan Independent School District (Isd) schools, which rank in the 18th to 45th percentile. Mumford's STAAR proficiency rates are dramatically higher than its neighbors—for example, 3rd-6th grade reading proficiency ranges from 76% to 91%, while the nearest competitor, Gause Elementary, ranges from 38% to 54%. What makes this even more impressive is that Mumford achieves these results with significantly less funding per student ($7,055) compared to nearby schools like Neal Elementary ($12,758) and Kemp-Carver Elementary ($12,383), which spend nearly double but achieve far lower outcomes.

Mumford's most defining metric is its exceptional effectiveness with economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 99th percentile for serving this subgroup despite over 71% of its students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. This demonstrates a powerful ability to close the achievement gap, a feat not replicated by nearby schools with similar poverty rates. While the school excels in bringing all students to a high standard, one area for attention is its Gifted & Talented programming, which dropped to the 68th percentile in 2025-2026. Overall, Mumford Elementary is a model of efficiency and high performance, proving that strong instructional strategies and school culture can overcome significant challenges.
