Summary:
The city of Hooks, Texas, is served by the Hooks Independent School District (Isd), which educates 914 students across three public schools: Hooks High School, Hooks Elementary, and Hooks J H.
Each school has distinct strengths. Hooks High School is an academic powerhouse in core subjects, achieving a 98.4% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, with standout proficiency in Biology (81.4%) and English II Reading (73.81%). However, it struggles with Algebra I (20.27% proficient) and U.S. History (50.85%). Hooks J H excels in math and science, particularly with 8th graders achieving a phenomenal 90% proficiency in Algebra I, nearly double the state average. Hooks Elementary provides a strong foundation in early literacy and math, with 3rd graders scoring 63.46% proficient in math, but faces challenges with a higher student-teacher ratio (18.2:1) and the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students in the district (62.54%).
Key metrics reveal notable resource disparities. The high school receives the highest per-student funding ($13,704) and has a low student-teacher ratio (11.2:1), while the elementary school receives the lowest funding ($10,050) despite having the greatest need. The middle school has the most favorable student-teacher ratio (10.5:1). Ranking trends show the middle school on an upward trajectory, the high school inconsistent, and the elementary school declining. A standout success is the "Algebra I pipeline" at the middle school, which effectively accelerates top math students, contrasting with the high school's struggles in the same subject. The district overall is ranked in the 70th percentile in Texas, earning a 4-star rating.
