Summary:
The city of Munday, Texas, is served by the Munday Consolidated Independent School District, which operates two public schools—Munday Elementary (Pre-K through 5th grade) and Munday Secondary (6th through 12th grade)—for a total of 421 students.
There is a clear performance gap between the two schools. Munday Elementary is a standout, ranking in the 90th percentile statewide and earning a 4-star rating for three consecutive years. It exceeds state averages in every subject, with 5th-grade math proficiency at 82.14% compared to the state’s 47.38%. In contrast, Munday Secondary ranks in the 51st percentile and faces significant challenges, particularly a 5.26% proficiency rate in 6th-grade math—a steep drop from the elementary school’s performance. However, the secondary school excels in Biology (83.87% proficiency) and boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate. Both schools maintain small class sizes (10.2:1 at elementary, 7.9:1 at secondary), and the district spends more per student at the secondary level ($16,999) than at the elementary level ($11,410).
Key takeaways for parents: Munday Elementary is a model of consistent improvement and academic excellence, making it a strong choice for younger children. Munday Secondary offers strengths in science and a high graduation rate, but the "6th-grade math cliff" is a critical concern that may require extra support for transitioning students. The district’s small class sizes are an asset, but the higher spending at the secondary level has not yet translated into comparable academic outcomes, suggesting a need for targeted instructional improvements.
