Summary

Honey Grove Elementary is a small, rural PK-5 school in the Honey Grove Independent School District (Isd), serving 288 students in Honey Grove, TX.

The most important story about Honey Grove Elementary is its dramatic recent decline. After earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 16% of Texas elementary schools for three consecutive years (2020-2021 through 2022-2023), the school dropped to a 2-star rating and the 32nd percentile in the most recent data (2025-2026). This is a sudden reversal, not a slow slide. For context, nearby rural peers like Chisum Elementary and Sam Rayburn Elementary have maintained consistently high rankings (65th-82nd percentile) over the same period. The school’s per-student spending ($11,566) is higher than several of these outperforming schools, suggesting the issue is not a lack of funds but likely how resources are used.

The decline is most visible in 5th grade math, where only 22.5% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—the lowest rate among all comparable nearby schools and well below the state average of 47.38%. Sam Rayburn Elementary, a similar rural school with comparable demographics and spending, achieved a 60% proficiency rate in the same subject. This comparison strongly suggests that Honey Grove’s struggles are not inevitable but are tied to school-specific factors like curriculum or leadership that can be addressed. The school’s past success, particularly with students from low-income backgrounds, shows it has the potential to improve again.
