SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 4,627 Texas Elementary Schools

Better than 95% of Texas elementary schools

Summary

Hunt Elementary in Murphy, TX, is a high-performing K-5 school serving 491 students as part of the Plano Independent School District (Isd), with a long track record of academic excellence and a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 13.7:1. This school consistently ranks in the top 5% of all Texas elementary schools, currently placing 215th out of 4,627 schools statewide (95th percentile), and has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade. Hunt stands out for its ability to elevate the performance of nearly all student subgroups, including Hispanic students, African American students, and English Language Learners, all of whom rank in the 90th percentile or higher in recent years.

When compared to nearby schools, Hunt’s consistency is a key differentiator. Its closest neighbor, Boggess Elementary (1.35 miles away), is also excellent but shows more volatility in rankings, while other nearby Plano Independent School District (Isd) schools like Schell Elementary (78th percentile) and McCall Elementary (82nd percentile) operate in a significantly lower tier. Hunt also dramatically outperforms district and state averages, with 5th-grade Mathematics proficiency at 78.7% compared to 62.3% for the district and 46.24% for the state. However, Hunt faces competition from high-performing schools in the neighboring Wylie Independent School District (Isd), such as Tibbals Elementary (99th percentile) and Rita Smith Elementary (98th percentile), which are within 3 miles and drive high standards across the area.

While Hunt excels for most groups, there are two areas where performance has dipped recently. Special Education students saw a significant drop from the 88th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 68th percentile in 2024-2025, and Multi-racial students experienced a dramatic decline from the 81st percentile to the 40th percentile in the same period, which may warrant monitoring. Overall, Hunt Elementary offers a stable, top-tier education with a strong track record of closing achievement gaps, making it a standout choice for families in the Murphy area.
