Summary

Newgulf Elementary in Boling, TX, serves 559 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Boling Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked near the middle of the pack in Texas. The school has shown notable inconsistency in recent years, with a sharp decline from a 3-star rating and 64th percentile rank in 2024-2025 to a 2-star rating and 43rd percentile in 2025-2026—a 21-percentile-point drop. This volatility suggests performance may be highly sensitive to changes in student cohorts or instructional focus, making it a school to watch closely for stability.

Academically, Newgulf Elementary demonstrates a clear strength in Reading, where 3rd and 5th-grade scores (55.26% and 54.65% proficient) met or exceeded state averages in 2025-2026. However, Mathematics is a persistent weakness, with all three grade levels scoring significantly below state averages—for example, 4th-grade Math at 33.72% versus the state's 49.28%. This subject-specific gap sets it apart from nearby schools like Adriane Mathews Gray Elementary and Thomas R Culver Elementary in the higher-ranked Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, which outperformed Newgulf in Math during the same period. Interestingly, Newgulf operates with notable fiscal efficiency, spending $8,913 per student—far less than peers like Van Vleck Elementary ($12,760) or Damon Elementary ($15,082)—yet achieving competitive results in its peak years.

The school faces a widening achievement gap, particularly for its economically disadvantaged students, who ranked in the 26th percentile in 2025-2026. This contrasts sharply with the school's strong performance for other student groups, which ranked in the 73rd percentile. Nearby Damon Elementary, a small school with high poverty rates and low student-teacher ratios (7.6:1), achieved a 4-star rating and 88th percentile rank, suggesting that targeted investment could yield significant improvements. For parents, Newgulf Elementary offers a cost-effective option with potential in Reading, but its inconsistency and math challenges—especially for vulnerable students—are key considerations.
