Summary

Robert F Hunt Elementary in Diana, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 537 students in the rural New Diana Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top 15% of all Texas school districts. This school stands out for its consistent excellence, earning a 4-star rating for four consecutive years and maintaining a state ranking between the 83rd and 91st percentile over the last five years. With a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 15.5:1 and per-student spending of $8,628—significantly lower than nearby peers—the school demonstrates remarkable efficiency, delivering top-tier results while spending roughly $1,200 less per student than the next most efficient high-performing school, Spring Hill Intermediate.

One of the school's most impressive strengths is its exceptional performance for students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 and the 92nd percentile in 2024-2025. This indicates the school is highly effective at closing achievement gaps and providing equitable opportunities. Additionally, Robert F Hunt excels in 5th-grade reading, with 82.65% of students proficient in 2025-2026—a staggering 24 percentage points above the state average and significantly higher than every nearby school. The Gifted and Talented program is also a standout, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 and remaining in the top tier at the 92nd percentile in 2025-2026, making it a major draw for parents of high-achieving students.

While the school shines in reading, its mathematics performance, though above state averages, has room for growth to match its reading results. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency was 17 points above the state average, compared to 24 points in reading. A notable concern is a recent dip in Special Education performance, dropping from the 84th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 39th percentile in 2025-2026, which warrants attention. In stark contrast to nearby Ore City Elementary, which ranks in the bottom 26% of Texas schools, Robert F Hunt is in the top 17%, highlighting the effectiveness of the New Diana ISD's instructional strategies. The only nearby school that consistently matches its performance is Spring Hill Intermediate, which serves a slightly less economically disadvantaged population, underscoring Robert F Hunt's competitive edge in its rural region.
