Summary

Ann Whitney Elementary in Hamilton, TX, is a PK-5 public school serving 382 students as part of the Hamilton Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 62nd percentile statewide. The school offers a low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.2:1 and per-student spending of $11,305, providing a strong foundation for learning in a small-town setting.

Ann Whitney consistently performs near the state average, with a notable peak in the 76th percentile during the 2020-2021 school year. Its most recent ranking places it in the 51st percentile (3 stars). Compared to nearby Evant Elementary, Ann Whitney significantly outperforms in mathematics—44.07% of 3rd graders were proficient versus Evant's 6.67%—and serves a student body with a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students (61.52% free/reduced lunch) compared to Evant's 90%. The school also excels in gifted education, ranking in the 90th percentile (5 stars) for its Gifted and Talented program.

However, Ann Whitney faces challenges in supporting its core student populations, with Hispanic and White student groups ranking in the 24th and 29th percentiles respectively. Support for English Language Learners has dropped sharply from the 61st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 3rd percentile in 2025-2026. Additionally, 5th Grade Science scores show volatility, ranging from 50% proficient in 2022-2023 to 15.38% in 2023-2024, before rebounding to 29.09% in 2024-2025. With its low class sizes and decent spending, the school has the resources to improve, but it must focus on delivering consistent, equitable outcomes for all students.
