Summary:
The city of Hubbard, Texas, is served by the Hubbard Independent School District (Isd), which includes two schools: Hubbard Elementary (Pre-K through 5th grade) and Hubbard High School (6th through 12th grade), with a total enrollment of 417 students and a district ranking in the 39th percentile statewide.
Hubbard High School is the standout school in the district, showing strong improvement and academic success. Its state ranking has risen from the 46th percentile (2 stars) to the 55th percentile (3 stars), and it outperforms state averages in several key subjects, including 7th-grade math, English I and II reading, and U.S. History. The high school also boasts a 97% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, with a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.1:1 and higher per-student spending ($13,028). In contrast, Hubbard Elementary consistently underperforms, ranking in the low 20th percentile (1 star) and struggling across most subjects, particularly in 5th-grade science (12.12% proficiency vs. the state's 29.57%). The elementary school also faces higher economic need, with 66.36% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, compared to 52.71% at the high school.
A key takeaway is that the high school appears highly effective at remediating students who arrive from the underperforming elementary school. For example, 5th graders at the elementary scored only 29.63% proficient in reading, but by 8th grade at the high school, reading proficiency jumps to 66.67%. However, math performance is inconsistent, with 7th graders excelling (50% vs. 29.41% state) but 6th graders lagging (14.71% vs. 38.57% state). Science is a district-wide weakness, with both schools scoring well below state averages. The high school's structure, serving grades 6-12 without a separate middle school, may contribute to its success by fostering a college-ready culture and efficient resource use.
