Scurry-Rosser Independent School District (Isd)

The Scurry-Rosser Independent School District (Isd) is a small, unified district in Texas serving approximately 1,032 students across three schools: Scurry-Rosser Elementary (PK-3), Scurry-Rosser Middle (4-8), and Scurry-Rosser High School (9-12). The district ranks in the 63rd percentile statewide, earning a solid 3-star rating.

Scurry-Rosser High School is the district's standout performer, boasting a perfect 100% graduation rate and exceptional English scores—English II proficiency reaches 82.14%, far above the state average. Scurry-Rosser Elementary also shines, with 3rd-grade reading and math scores significantly exceeding state averages, despite having the highest rate of economic disadvantage (59.21%). Scurry-Rosser Middle shows the most volatility: it excels in advanced Algebra I (82.35% proficiency, well above the state's 54.03%) but struggles with on-grade-level math, particularly in 6th grade where proficiency drops to just 22.78%—16 points below the state average. This creates a critical "middle school math slump" that contrasts with the elementary school's strong foundation.

Key metrics include small class sizes (student-teacher ratios of 12.2 to 13.6) and higher per-student spending at the high school ($12,860) compared to elementary ($10,495) and middle ($10,423). The district's overall ranking is stable, but the middle school's ranking has dropped from the 77th to the 62nd percentile in recent years, aligning with its math challenges. English Language Arts remains a district-wide strength, with all three schools outperforming state averages in reading. The "Algebra I anomaly"—where middle school students excel but high school students do not—highlights a need for better curriculum alignment between the two schools.
