Summary:
The three public schools in the Scurry-Rosser Independent School District (Isd) serve 1,032 students from Pre-K through 12th grade in the city of Scurry, Texas, a small community where the district ranks in the 63rd percentile statewide and earns a 3-star rating.
Scurry-Rosser High School stands out as the district's academic powerhouse, achieving a perfect 100% graduation rate and exceptional English proficiency—82.14% of students passed English II Reading in 2025-2026, far above the state average of 59.88%. However, its math performance lags significantly, with only 38.24% proficient in Algebra I. Scurry-Rosser Middle is the math and science leader, with 66.2% of 4th graders proficient in math (state: 49.28%) and a 0.0% dropout rate, but it suffers from a dramatic "6th grade math slump" where proficiency drops from 46.97% in 5th grade to just 22.78% in 6th grade. Scurry-Rosser Elementary overperforms despite having the highest economic disadvantage rate (59.21%), with 68.25% of 3rd graders proficient in reading—17 points above the state average—providing a strong foundation for the district.
Key metrics include student-teacher ratios from 12.2:1 to 13.6:1, spending per student between $10,423 and $12,860, and a district-wide free/reduced lunch rate ranging from 37.18% at the high school to 59.21% at the elementary. The most critical takeaway is the "6th grade math slump" at the middle school, which appears to persist into high school Algebra I struggles, creating a clear narrative: the elementary builds a strong base, the middle school shows a "boom or bust" pattern in math, and the high school excels in literacy but needs to address its math weaknesses to ensure all students succeed.
