Summary:
Hunt Independent School District (ISD) is served by a single, high-performing PK-8 campus, Hunt School, which serves 196 students in a small, rural setting. As the only elementary school in the district, Hunt School is a standout academic powerhouse, consistently earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking in the 98th percentile statewide, placing it among the top 2% of all Texas school districts. With a very low student-teacher ratio of 10.1:1, students receive significant individualized attention, which is a key driver of the school's exceptional outcomes in core subjects like Reading and Math, where proficiency rates often double the state average.
Key metrics highlight the school's strengths and areas for focus. In the most recent 2025-2026 STAAR data, Reading proficiency ranges from 68.18% in 6th grade to 87.5% in 7th grade, while Math proficiency ranges from 56.25% in 6th grade to 86.67% in 8th grade—all significantly outperforming state averages. The most striking data point is the 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I (End of Course), nearly double the state average of 54%, indicating exceptional instruction in advanced math. However, 8th Grade Social Studies, at 42.86% proficient, is a relative weakness compared to the school's otherwise stellar performance, and 6th Grade Math shows a notable dip that suggests the transition to middle school concepts may be challenging for some cohorts.
Overall, Hunt School provides an elite education with consistent excellence, though performance can vary by grade-level cohort from year to year. The school's 0.0% dropout rate and spending of $14,821 per student further underscore its commitment to student success. For parents, this is a small, tight-knit school that delivers big results, particularly in Reading, Math, and Algebra I, with targeted opportunities for improvement in 6th Grade Math and 8th Grade Social Studies to match its otherwise exceptional standards.
