Summary

Sunray High School is a small, rural high school in Sunray, TX, serving 205 students in grades 9-12 within the Sunray Collegiate Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out for its exceptional commitment to student success, boasting a perfect 100% graduation rate in three of the last five years and a 0% dropout rate in four of the last five. With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.1:1 and per-pupil spending of $18,159—significantly higher than the nearby Dumas High School ($10,170 per student)—Sunray provides an environment where students receive more individualized attention and support.

Academically, Sunray High School consistently outperforms state averages on key STAAR End-of-Course exams, particularly in Algebra I and English Language Arts. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Sunray's proficiency in English I (65.38%) and English II (64%) was higher than both Dumas High School (59.31% and 65%) and the state average (51.26% and 56.22%). While the school's overall state ranking has fluctuated—dropping from the 77th percentile to the 52nd percentile recently—it has shown remarkable effectiveness with specific student groups. Its Hispanic Students and Special Education Students have consistently ranked in the top quartile, demonstrating strong support for diverse learners.

One of the most compelling stories at Sunray is the dramatic turnaround for its English Language Learner (ELL) students, who jumped from the bottom 3rd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 58th percentile in 2024-2025, suggesting highly effective new programs. However, the school faces challenges with its Gifted and Talented and At-Risk students, who have historically ranked low. Nearby, the North Plains Opportunity Center, an alternative school with only 35 students, posted a perfect Biology proficiency score, but this outlier highlights how small sample sizes can skew data. Overall, Sunray's consistent, broad-based performance across subjects makes it a reliable choice for families seeking a supportive, high-graduation-rate school.
