Summary

Ray Elementary in Hutto, TX, is a mid-sized elementary school serving 793 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Hutto Independent School District (Isd), and it has consistently earned a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it as a solid, middle-of-the-pack performer in the area.

Within the Hutto ISD, Ray Elementary is a typical performer, ranking higher than Cottonwood Creek Elementary and Howard Norman Elementary but lower than Benjamin Doc Kerley Elementary and Hutto Elementary. However, the most significant differentiator is the performance gap between Ray and nearby schools in the Pflugerville Independent School District (Isd) and Round Rock Independent School District (Isd). Schools like Riojas Elementary, Mott Elementary, and Forest Creek Elementary are all high-performing, 4 or 5-star schools, with test scores dramatically higher across all subjects and grades. For example, in 3rd Grade Reading, Ray scored 57.65% proficient, while Riojas scored 75.93% and Mott scored 74.53%.

Internally, Ray Elementary shows a persistent gender achievement gap, with female students consistently outperforming male students by a significant margin. The school also struggles to support its large population of low-income students (over half qualify for free or reduced lunch), ranking in the 24th percentile statewide for this group, while being highly effective with its Gifted and Talented students (63rd percentile). On a positive note, the school has shown dramatic improvement for its Special Education students, jumping from the 14th percentile to the 52nd percentile in the most recent year. Additionally, math scores are inconsistent, with 3rd graders performing well above district and state averages, but 5th graders experiencing a significant drop, scoring well below both.
