Summary

Hearne Elementary is a PK-6 public school in Hearne, Texas, serving 377 students within the Hearne Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked near the bottom of Texas school districts.

Hearne Elementary has a long history of low academic performance, consistently ranking in the bottom 1-2% of Texas elementary schools for nearly a decade. While the school has shown a slight upward trend, moving from the 2nd percentile to the 9th percentile in recent years, its test scores remain critically low. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency is just 15.15%, compared to the state average of 47.38%, and 4th-grade reading proficiency is 24.07% versus the state average of 53.04%. The school spends approximately $12,488 per student, which is higher than many nearby schools that achieve far better results. For instance, Mumford Elementary spends only $7,055 per student but ranks in the 93rd percentile. Even demographically similar schools in the Bryan Independent School District (Isd), such as Neal Elementary (94.43% poverty rate), rank significantly higher (45th percentile), suggesting that Hearne’s challenges are not solely due to poverty but also to instructional and administrative issues.

Despite these challenges, there are some positive signs. The school has shown notable improvement in serving its Special Education students, with their ranking jumping from the 1st percentile to the 71st percentile in one year, before settling at the 36th percentile. English Language Learners also perform relatively better than the school overall, ranking in the 15th-21st percentile. These areas of relative strength could serve as a foundation for broader improvement. While Hearne Elementary remains far behind high-performing neighbors like Roland Reynolds Elementary (94th percentile) and Mumford Elementary (93rd percentile), the recent upward trend offers a fragile but real reason for cautious optimism.
