Summary:
The Sunray Collegiate Independent School District (Isd) serves 593 students across three schools in Sunray, Texas: Sunray Elementary (PK-5), Sunray Middle (6-8), and Sunray High School (9-12).
Sunray High School is the district's strongest performer, boasting a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate. In the 2024-2025 school year, it significantly outperformed state averages on key End-of-Course exams, including Algebra I (67.31% vs. 47.01%) and Biology (70.59% vs. 62.04%). However, its most recent ranking dropped to the 52nd percentile, a dip from previous 4-star ratings. In contrast, Sunray Middle is the district's turnaround story, jumping from the 39th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 74th percentile (4 stars) in 2025-2026, with math scores now consistently above state averages. Sunray Elementary shows the most volatility, with rankings swinging from the 53rd percentile to the 25th and back to the 51st. It struggles significantly in math, with 4th-grade scores (27.27%) nearly 22 points below the state average, and a critical 5th-grade science score of just 6.98% in 2024-2025.
A key takeaway is the disconnect between school levels: while the middle and high schools show strong math performance, the elementary school's foundational gaps in math and science are a major concern. The high school also spends significantly more per student ($18,159) compared to the elementary ($11,234) and middle ($11,683), raising questions about resource allocation. Across the district, reading scores generally meet or exceed state averages, but math is a consistent weakness, especially at the elementary level. The middle school's dramatic improvement offers a potential blueprint for addressing these issues, suggesting that targeted strategies can yield strong results.
