Summary:
Hull, Texas is served by a single public school, Hull-Daisetta Elementary, which educates 266 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade as part of the Hull-Daisetta Independent School District (Isd), a small, rural community where 68.8% of students are economically disadvantaged.
As the only school in the area, Hull-Daisetta Elementary consistently performs below state averages across all subjects and grade levels, earning a 1-star rating and ranking in the 4th percentile of Texas districts. The most critical area is 5th grade science, where only 3.03% of students were proficient in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state average of 29.57%. Math and reading scores also show significant gaps, with 6th grade reading (28.57% proficient) and 3rd grade math (24.39% proficient) being particularly weak. However, there is a relative bright spot in 4th grade reading, where 45.83% of students met the standard, just 7.21 percentage points below the state average, suggesting a possible effective instructional approach at that grade level.
Performance is highly volatile from year to year, likely due to the small student population. For example, 3rd grade reading dropped from 45.45% to 30.00% between school years, while 5th grade math improved from 21.21% to 34.48%. The school spends $11,951 per student, a significant amount that does not translate into competitive outcomes, raising questions about resource allocation. With 6th grade performance especially low, students are entering middle school well behind their peers, highlighting a critical need for targeted intervention and curriculum review to address the persistent achievement gaps.
