Summary

Spurger Elementary is a small, rural PK-6 school in Spurger, TX, serving 235 students within the Spurger Independent School District (Isd), and it has engineered a remarkable academic turnaround over the past decade.

Once ranking in the bottom 1% of Texas elementary schools, Spurger Elementary now performs solidly above average, currently at the 45th percentile statewide. Its greatest strength is exceptional support for students from low-income backgrounds, with this subgroup ranking in the 69th percentile—a full 24 points higher than the school's overall rank. This outperforms all nearby schools, including Jean C Few Pri (6th percentile) and Parnell Elementary (6th percentile), despite serving a similar or higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school also excels in upper-grade mathematics, beating the state average in 6th-grade Math for three consecutive years, and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 11.3:1—significantly smaller than Kirbyville Elementary (16.2:1) and Woodville Intermediate (15.5:1).

However, the school faces challenges with inconsistent subject performance, as it outperforms the state in math but underperforms in reading across all grades. Additionally, while the school achieves strong results with moderate spending ($11,963 per student), it must address uneven achievement across different student groups. Overall, Spurger Elementary is a testament to effective leadership and resource efficiency, making it the top-performing school in its immediate geographic area.
