Summary

Ector Elementary is a small, rural PK-5 school in Ector, TX, serving 124 students as the sole campus of the Ector Independent School District (Isd), and has recently achieved its highest state ranking in a decade, placing in the 65th percentile and earning a 3-star rating.

This school stands out for its remarkable turnaround and effective support of students from low-income backgrounds. After several years of lower performance, Ector Elementary made a dramatic 29-percentile-point jump in the 2025-2026 school year, the largest single-year improvement among nearby schools. It is particularly effective at closing achievement gaps, earning a 4-star rating for its work with economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 71st percentile for this group. This is a key differentiator from nearby schools like Finley-Oates Elementary in the Bonham Independent School District (Isd), which is part of a 1-star district and has significantly lower 3rd-grade reading scores. Ector also achieves strong results with a relatively modest budget, spending less per student than several neighboring schools, including Sam Rayburn Elementary and Whitewright Elementary.

While the school excels in early math—with 64.71% of 3rd graders proficient in math, well above the state average—there are areas of concern. A significant gender-based performance gap exists, with male students ranking in the 81st percentile and female students in the 36th percentile. Additionally, a "5th-grade cliff" pattern emerges, where 5th-grade reading and math scores drop below state averages, suggesting a need for targeted support in upper elementary grades. The school's performance with "At Risk" students has also been inconsistent over time, indicating that while Ector has found a successful formula for some groups, it is still working to ensure consistent success for all students.
