Summary

New Home Elementary in New Home, TX, is a small, high-performing rural school serving 365 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade, and it is the sole elementary school within the highly-ranked New Home Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its consistent academic excellence and favorable learning environment. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 13.9, students receive more individualized attention than at many larger nearby schools, such as Upland Heights Elementary (16.1) or Crestview Elementary (16.6). New Home Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in both Reading and Mathematics across all tested grades. For example, its 5th-grade Reading proficiency (71.88%) is higher than several larger, highly-ranked schools like Upland Heights (59.32%) and Lubbock-Cooper North Elementary (67.26%). While its math scores are strong, they are a relative area for growth compared to its top-tier reading performance. The school benefits from being in a top-rated district, with New Home Independent School District (Isd) ranking in the 91st percentile statewide, a higher rating than surrounding districts like Frenship Independent School District (Isd) and Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District (Isd).

A key area for growth is ensuring equitable outcomes for all students. While the school excels for its majority population, its economically disadvantaged students perform at a lower level, creating an achievement gap that the school is working to address. Overall, New Home Elementary offers a cohesive and predictable educational experience, contrasting with the wider variance in performance seen among schools in larger districts like Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District (Isd), where schools range from 5-star to 2-star ratings. This consistency, combined with its small size and strong district support, creates a highly effective learning environment.
