Summary:
The Sunray Collegiate Independent School District (Isd) serves 593 students across three small public schools in Sunray, Texas: Sunray Elementary (PK-5), Sunray Middle (6-8), and Sunray High School (9-12).
Sunray High School is the district's standout, earning a 4-star rating and boasting a perfect 100% graduation rate with a 0% dropout rate. It significantly outperforms state averages in Algebra I (67.31% vs. 47.01%) and English I (65.38% vs. 51.26%), and it receives the highest per-student funding at $18,159. In contrast, Sunray Middle is the most improved school, jumping from a 2-star to a 4-star rating in the latest rankings, driven by gains in 8th-grade Math and 7th-grade Reading. Sunray Elementary faces the most challenges, with very low proficiency in 4th-grade Math (16.22% vs. 45.79% state) and 5th-grade Science (6.98% vs. 29.57% state), though it rebounded to the 51st percentile in the most recent ranking.
A key asset across the district is its exceptionally low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 9.5:1 at the middle school to 13.1:1 at the elementary school, allowing for individualized attention. However, a critical weakness emerges in STEM and Social Studies at the feeder schools, with 8th-grade Science proficiency at just 21.15% and Social Studies at 7.84%. This creates a "leaky pipeline" into high school, making the high school's strong performance in Algebra I and Biology even more notable. The district's small size also means that the performance of a single cohort can dramatically swing school rankings, as seen in the volatile ranking histories of both the elementary and middle schools.
