Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 75158, serving students from Pre-K through 12th grade in the Scurry-Rosser Independent School District (Isd), offer a solid educational foundation with a standout high school and a strong elementary program, though the middle school presents a mixed picture of advanced math success and foundational struggles.
Scurry-Rosser High School is the district's academic powerhouse, boasting a perfect 100% graduation rate and exceptional English Language Arts scores that far exceed state averages—82% proficiency in English II versus the state's 60%. It also leads in Biology performance. In contrast, Scurry-Rosser Elementary excels in early-grade fundamentals, with 3rd graders achieving 68% reading proficiency and 57% math proficiency, both well above state benchmarks. The elementary school serves the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students (59%) yet has the lowest per-student spending ($10,495), while the high school has the lowest economic disadvantage (37%) and highest spending ($12,860).
Scurry-Rosser Middle presents a paradox: it achieves an impressive 82% proficiency in Algebra I (far above the state's 54%) and strong 7th grade math scores, but struggles significantly in 6th grade math (23% vs. 39% state) and 8th grade math (35% vs. 47% state). This creates a "middle school slump" in math proficiency, dropping from 66% in 4th grade to 23% in 6th grade. The district overall shows consistent strength in English/Language Arts across all grade levels, while mathematics remains a clear area for improvement. With low student-teacher ratios (12:1 to 14:1) and a very low dropout rate (0.3% at high school), the district provides a supportive environment, though resource allocation may warrant attention given the inverse relationship between economic need and spending.
