Summary

Hooks Elementary is a small, rural PK-4 school in Hooks, TX, serving 323 students as part of the Hooks Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 4-star rating. The school has a strong history of excellence, consistently earning 4-star ratings from 2016 to 2023, though it recently dipped to a 3-star rating in the 2025-2026 school year, ranking in the 66th percentile statewide. This recent decline is a notable shift from its own high standards, especially when compared to nearby schools like Liberty-Eylau Elementary and Nash Elementary, which have historically struggled in the bottom 30th percentile.

One of Hooks Elementary's standout strengths is its exceptional performance with economically disadvantaged students, who make up about 63% of the student body. In the 2023-2024 school year, this subgroup ranked in the 90th percentile statewide, outperforming many nearby schools with similar or higher poverty rates, such as Wake Village Elementary and Waggoner Creek Elementary. The school also demonstrates strong operational efficiency, spending about $10,050 per student—less than Crestview Elementary ($12,102) and Waggoner Creek ($11,640)—while still achieving above-average results. Historically, Hooks excelled in 4th Grade Math, with a 76% proficiency rate in 2022-2023, far above the state average of 47% and higher than most nearby schools.

However, there are areas of concern. The most recent test scores reveal a puzzling drop in 4th Grade Math proficiency to 42.25% in 2025-2026, which is 7 points below the state average, while 3rd graders excelled at 63.46% proficient—19 points above the state average. This suggests a potential issue with the 4th-grade math curriculum or instruction. Additionally, the school's performance with "At Risk" students has been volatile, ranging from a 94th percentile ranking in 2020-2021 to a 37th percentile in 2018-2019. For context, the closest high-performing peer, Red Lick Elementary (a 5-star school ranked in the 99th percentile), achieves higher proficiency rates with a lower student-teacher ratio (10.3 vs. 18.2) and lower spending per student ($8,128), highlighting potential areas for growth at Hooks.
