Summary:
The Hull-Daisetta Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single elementary school, Hull-Daisetta Elementary, which educates 266 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade in a rural Texas community where nearly 69% of students are economically disadvantaged.
Hull-Daisetta Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 13-20% of Texas elementary schools over the past three years, earning a 1-star rating. The school's proficiency rates in Reading and Math are significantly below state averages across nearly all grade levels. For the 2025-2026 school year, Reading proficiency ranged from 28.57% to 45.83% (state: 51.08% to 58.47%), while Math proficiency ranged from 24% to 34.48% (state: 38.57% to 49.28%). The most critical weakness is in 5th Grade Science, where only 3.03% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 29.57%.
Despite a relatively high per-student spending of $11,951 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16:1, academic outcomes remain low. There is a glimmer of hope in 6th Grade Math, where the school's proficiency rate has been closest to the state average, suggesting a potential area of instructional strength. However, performance is volatile year-over-year—for example, 3rd Grade Reading proficiency dropped from 45.45% to 30% between school years, while 5th Grade Math improved from 21.21% to 34.48%. This inconsistency indicates that student cohorts vary significantly and that the school struggles to maintain stable, effective instruction across all grades and subjects.
