Summary

Wm David Surratt Elementary in Clint, TX, serves 939 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Clint Independent School District (Isd), a community where over 85% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has achieved a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools to the 60th percentile in just five years, a 48-point jump that signals a fundamental shift in its effectiveness.

Surratt’s greatest strength is its exceptional performance with its largest student groups. It ranks in the 71st percentile for Hispanic students and the 68th percentile for low-income students, a stark contrast to many nearby schools that struggle to serve these populations. For example, while H D Hilley Elementary has remained stable in the 3-star range, Surratt has moved from a 1-star to a 3-star rating, outpacing schools like Robert R Rojas Elementary which has fluctuated between 2 and 3 stars. The school also shows a distinct strength in upper elementary math, with 4th graders scoring 55% proficient (beating the state average of 49%) and 5th graders matching the state average at 48%—far outperforming Escontrias Steam Academy (29%) and Desert Wind Elementary (19%) in 5th-grade math.

However, there are areas for growth. Students taking the STAAR test in Spanish consistently score below district and state averages, a challenge shared by nearby schools like Alfonso Borrego Senior Elementary and L G Alarcon Elementary. Science is a universal weakness across the region, with Surratt’s 5th-grade proficiency stuck around 18% (well below the state average of 29.6%), similar to Ernesto Serna Fine Arts Academy (12%) and Desert Wind (13%). Additionally, the school’s Gifted and Talented program ranks in the bottom 16% of the state, suggesting a need to better challenge its highest-achieving students.
