Summary

Sam Rayburn Elementary in Ivanhoe, TX, is a small, rural PK-6 school serving 261 students and is the sole elementary school within the highly-ranked Sam Rayburn Independent School District (Isd), which sits in the top 12% of all Texas districts.

This school stands out for its consistent, strong performance, earning a 4-star rating for six consecutive years—a stark contrast to nearby schools like Savoy Elementary, Honey Grove Elementary, and Ector Elementary, which have shown more volatility in their rankings. A key strength is exceptional performance in the upper grades, particularly in 5th and 6th grade reading and math, and outstanding 5th-grade science scores that have more than doubled the state average. The school also achieves this with a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.2:1, significantly smaller than nearby schools like Bells Elementary (13.8:1) and Honey Grove (16.1:1), allowing for more individualized attention.

Sam Rayburn Elementary is particularly effective at supporting its students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with this subgroup consistently ranking in the 80th percentile or higher statewide. While the school’s overall rank has seen a slight dip from its peak, its ability to serve its most vulnerable students has remained strong. The school also demonstrated a remarkable recovery after the pandemic, with "At Risk Students" jumping from the bottom 14% of the state in 2020-2021 to the 74th percentile the following year, showcasing a strong capacity for targeted intervention and academic recovery.
