Summary

Muenster Elementary is a small, high-performing public school in rural Muenster, Texas, serving 311 students in grades PK through 6 as part of the top-rated Muenster Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its consistent academic excellence, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in 7 of the last 10 years and never ranking below the 85th percentile statewide. Students here significantly outperform state averages in reading, math, and science. For example, 6th-grade math proficiency is 71.43%, nearly double the state average of 38.57%, and 5th-grade science proficiency is 65.85%, more than double the state average of 29.57%. Muenster Elementary also outperforms nearby Lindsay Elementary, a school with an even lower rate of economic disadvantage, ranking in the 87th percentile compared to Lindsay's 74th. The school is also highly efficient, spending just $9,043 per student—far less than lower-performing rural schools like Sivells Bend Elementary ($19,856) and Walnut Bend Elementary ($16,223).

While the school excels overall, it has historically struggled with its Special Education subgroup, ranking in the 15th percentile in 2024-2025, though recent data shows improvement to the 66th percentile. In contrast, the school serves its Hispanic students exceptionally well, ranking in the 94th percentile. With only 23.15% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Muenster Elementary is a regional academic anchor, offering a top-tier education that draws families from across the area.
