Summary:
In zip code 75561, there is one elementary school, Hooks Elementary, serving grades PK through 4th in Hooks, Texas, with 323 students enrolled.
Hooks Elementary is part of the Hooks Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top 30% of Texas districts (70th percentile) with a 4-star rating. The school itself has seen a declining state ranking over three years, dropping from the 78th percentile (4 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 66th percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026. A key strength is 3rd-grade Math, where 63.46% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, significantly outpacing the state average of 44.33%. However, 4th-grade Math is a major concern, with only 42.25% proficient compared to the state's 49.28%, representing a sharp drop from the previous year's 53.85%. Reading scores are closer to state averages, with 3rd grade at 57.69% (state: 51.08%) and 4th grade at 53.52% (state: 53.04%).
The most notable finding is a dramatic 26-point swing between 3rd and 4th grade Math performance relative to the state, suggesting excellent early math instruction but a potential struggle with more advanced concepts in 4th grade. With 62.54% of students economically disadvantaged and a student-teacher ratio of 18.2, the school faces challenges that make its strong 3rd-grade results impressive but its 4th-grade decline more urgent. The school's drop to a 3-star rating, despite its district's 4-star status, indicates it may be falling behind peers within its own high-performing district, warranting a closer look at curriculum and support for older students.
