Summary:

The Krum Independent School District (Isd) is home to three elementary schools—Dixie Hansel Elementary, Dyer Elementary, and Blanche Dodd Elementary—serving grades PK through 5 in a suburban Texas community. Blanche Dodd Elementary stands out as the top performer, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 77th percentile statewide for the 2024-2025 school year, far exceeding the district’s overall 55th percentile. It leads in nearly every subject and grade level, with particularly impressive 5th-grade Science scores (58.18% proficient) that are nearly double the district average. This school also has the lowest percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch (32.84%) and the smallest student-teacher ratio (13.6:1), factors that often support stronger academic outcomes.

In contrast, Dixie Hansel Elementary shows a concerning downward trend, dropping from a 3-star to a 2-star rating between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, with its 3rd-grade Math and Reading scores being the lowest in the district. Dyer Elementary tells a different story: after a dip to a 2-star rating in 2024-2025, it rebounded to a 3-star rating in 2025-2026, suggesting recent interventions may be working. Despite having the highest per-student spending ($11,259), Dyer Elementary also has the highest rate of economic disadvantage (50.97%) and the lowest overall academic performance, highlighting that spending alone doesn’t guarantee success.

A key takeaway is the significant gap in 5th-grade performance across the district. While all three schools perform similarly in 3rd and 4th grades, Blanche Dodd Elementary’s 5th graders thrive, while Dyer Elementary’s 5th graders struggle, especially in Science (18.18% proficient) and Math (33.33% proficient). This suggests that upper-grade instruction varies widely between schools. For parents, Blanche Dodd Elementary is the clear academic leader, while Dyer Elementary shows promise of recovery, and Dixie Hansel Elementary may require closer attention to its declining trends.
