Summary

Sunray Middle is a public middle school located in Sunray, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 145 students. The school is part of the Sunray Collegiate Independent School District, which is ranked 504 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sunray Middle has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state averages. The school performed better than the state average in 6th grade reading and math, but underperformed the state average in 7th and 8th grade reading, math, science, and social studies. The school has seen varying performance among different student subgroups, performing relatively well for its special education students but struggling with its white and English language learner student populations. Sunray Middle has maintained low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.4% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average. The school has also seen an increase in its per-student spending, from $9,931 in 2018-2019 to $11,683 in 2020-2021, which is higher than the state average. Sunray Middle has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.7 to 11.8 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby Dumas J H and Dumas Intermediate schools.

The inconsistent academic performance at Sunray Middle suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to ensure more consistent and equitable outcomes for all students. The disparities in student group performance indicate the need for targeted interventions and support to address these achievement gaps. While the increase in per-student spending and the relatively low student-teacher ratio may have contributed to the school's performance, a more comprehensive approach to school improvement may be necessary to drive significant improvements.
