Summary

Hunt Elementary in Cuero, TX, serves 483 students in grades 2 through 5 within the Cuero Independent School District (Isd), a rural district where over 60% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Hunt Elementary is currently rated 2 stars (38th percentile) by the state, a significant drop from its 3-star rating in previous years. This places it as the lowest-performing elementary school in the area when compared to nearby schools. For example, Nursery Elementary (90th percentile, 5 stars) and Mission Valley Elementary (89th percentile, 4 stars) are performing at much higher levels. Hunt’s STAAR test scores are consistently below the state average, with 4th-grade reading proficiency at 46.55% and 4th-grade math at 41.38%, compared to over 70% proficiency at Nursery and Mission Valley. Interestingly, Hunt has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.9:1, which is better than its same-district peer, J C French Elementary (15.5:1), and comparable to high-performing schools like Nursery (13:1). This suggests that class size is not the main issue.

Despite these challenges, there are a few bright spots. Hunt has shown consistent strength in 5th-grade science, with proficiency rates (37.78% in 2023-2024) significantly higher than the state average (26.29%). Additionally, the school’s per-student spending ($11,303) is on par with high-performing schools like Meyersville Elementary ($9,674) and Nursery ($12,131), indicating that funding is not the primary barrier. The school’s performance challenges appear to be systemic to the Cuero ISD, as Hunt’s test scores mirror the district average. The success in science offers a potential model for improvement in other subjects.
