Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 75561, serving the small community of Hooks, Texas, are all part of the Hooks Independent School District (Isd), which serves approximately 914 students from Pre-K through 12th grade and holds a solid 4-star rating.
Hooks High School stands out as a "graduation machine," boasting a remarkable 98.4% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, though its Algebra I proficiency (20.27%) is a significant weakness compared to state averages. In contrast, Hooks J H is a math and science powerhouse, with 90% of 8th graders proficient in Algebra I—nearly double the state rate—but its 5th-grade reading scores dip below the state average. Hooks Elementary excels at building a strong early foundation, with 3rd-grade math proficiency (63.46%) far exceeding the state (44.33%), despite having the highest economic disadvantage rate (62.54% Free/Reduced Lunch) in the district.
A key finding is the inverse relationship between need and funding: the elementary school, with the highest poverty rate, receives the lowest per-student spending ($10,050), while the high school, with the lowest poverty rate, receives the highest ($13,704). Additionally, the high school's Algebra I scores plummet from the middle school's stellar performance, suggesting a curriculum gap between 8th and 9th grade. On a positive note, the high school consistently outperforms the state in Biology and English I & II Reading, indicating stable, high-quality instruction in those subjects.
