Summary

Hubbard Independent School District (Isd) in De Kalb, TX, is a very small, rural school serving just 64 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade, offering a uniquely personalized learning environment with a student-teacher ratio of 6.4:1—roughly half that of nearby Dekalb Elementary (13:1) and Malta Elementary (14.7:1). This small size allows for significant individual attention, but it also means academic performance can be volatile, as a single student’s results can swing overall rankings. The school has shown a pattern of strong math skills—with 3rd graders scoring 66.67% proficiency versus the state average of 44.33%—but reading proficiency lags at 33.33% compared to the state’s 51.08%, suggesting a need for targeted support in literacy.

Despite high per-student spending of $13,551 (2020-2021), which is notably higher than nearby Simms Independent School District (Isd) ($10,341) and Malta Independent School District (Isd) ($6,958), the school’s overall academic results have been inconsistent. The Hubbard Independent School District (Isd) currently holds a 2-star rating, while nearby Dekalb Elementary—just 2.8 miles away—has earned more consistent 3-4 star ratings with a larger student body. This raises questions about how effectively the additional funds are being used to overcome challenges, especially since 78.12% of Hubbard students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a poverty rate comparable to other local schools.

One bright spot is the school’s recent success with low socio-economic status (SES) students, who ranked in the 65th percentile statewide in 2024-2025—a dramatic improvement from the 9th percentile just two years prior. This suggests that recent interventions may be working well for this group, offering a foundation to build upon. However, with such a small student body, subgroup data should be interpreted cautiously, as a few students can heavily influence results. For parents considering this school, the key trade-off is between the potential for deep, personalized attention and the risk of unpredictable academic outcomes compared to more stable, larger options like James Bowie Elementary or Crestview Elementary.
