Summary

Sherry And Paul Hamm Elementary is a high-performing school serving 721 students in Pre-K through 6th grade in Rockwall, TX, part of the top-rated Rockwall Independent School District (Isd). This school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for six consecutive years and ranks in the 95th percentile statewide, placing it among the elite elementary schools in Texas.

What truly sets Hamm Elementary apart is its consistent academic excellence across all student groups. The school excels particularly in mathematics, with 6th-grade math proficiency reaching 85.19% compared to the district average of 60.09% and the state average of just 37.1%—a remarkable 48-point lead over the state. Even more impressive, 8th-grade students taking Algebra I achieved 100% proficiency for three straight years. While the school dominates in reading and math, science scores, though above average, offer room for growth. Interestingly, Hamm Elementary has been on a steady upward trajectory, moving from the 93rd to the 95th percentile, while its nearby neighbor Nebbie Williams Elementary has seen a decline from the 99th to the 92nd percentile over the same period, suggesting a shift in the local academic landscape.

Hamm Elementary consistently outperforms its own high-performing district across nearly every grade and subject, indicating a unique school culture or instructional approach driving superior results. The school serves a relatively affluent community, with only 8.46% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the lowest rate among nearby Rockwall ISD peers. For context, Howard Dobbs Elementary has a rate of 52.39%, while schools from neighboring districts like Liberty Grove Elementary in Garland Independent School District (Isd) have a 74.79% rate and significantly lower academic performance. This contrast highlights Hamm Elementary as an academic powerhouse in a region with widely varying school outcomes.
