Summary:
The New Home Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single elementary school, New Home Elementary, which educates 365 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade in a highly ranked Texas district.
New Home Elementary is a standout school that consistently and significantly outperforms the state average on STAAR tests in every grade and subject. For example, 4th graders achieve proficiency rates over 17 percentage points higher than the state in both Reading (70.91%) and Mathematics (67.27%). The school also benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1, which supports individualized attention. While the district itself holds a 5-star rating and ranks in the 91st percentile of Texas districts, the elementary school individually ranks in the 86th percentile (4 stars) among all Texas elementary schools, indicating that the district's overall elite status may be bolstered by its secondary schools.
A key takeaway is the school's clear "growth story" in Reading, where proficiency rises from 59.57% in 3rd grade to 71.88% in 5th grade, suggesting highly effective literacy instruction. In contrast, Math proficiency peaks in 4th grade (67.27%) and then dips slightly in 5th grade (64.06%), a potential area for curriculum focus despite still being well above state norms. With only 13.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a population with a low rate of economic disadvantage, which often correlates with greater access to resources and support. Overall, New Home Elementary provides an excellent, high-performing educational environment for elementary-aged children.
