Summary

Sunray Middle in Sunray, TX, is a small, rural school serving 132 students in grades 6-8 within the Sunray Collegiate Independent School District (Isd), where over half of students are economically disadvantaged. This school has achieved a remarkable turnaround, jumping from a 2-star rating to a 4-star rating and ranking in the 74th percentile statewide in the 2025-2026 school year, a leap of 636 places from the previous year.

What truly sets Sunray Middle apart is its exceptional support for all students, especially those who often face the biggest challenges. The school ranks in the 89th percentile for students from low-income families and in the 90th percentile for special education students, showing it is effectively closing opportunity gaps. In contrast, nearby Dumas J H in the Dumas Independent School District (Isd) ranks only in the 39th percentile overall and struggles to support its higher-poverty student body. Sunray Middle also boasts a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.5:1, compared to 13.2:1 at Dumas Junior High, allowing for more personalized attention and targeted instruction.

Academically, Sunray Middle consistently outperforms state averages in Reading and Math across most grade levels. For example, 6th-grade Math proficiency is 52.5% versus the state's 38.57%, and 8th-grade Math is 58.49% versus 47.24%. However, the school has a notable weakness in 8th-grade Social Studies and Science, where proficiency lags behind state averages. Overall, Sunray Middle is a standout example of how a small, well-resourced school can achieve remarkable results, particularly for its most vulnerable students, making it a compelling choice for families in the area.
