Hughes Springs Elementary has experienced a significant decline in its state ranking over the past three years, dropping from the 61st percentile to the 31st percentile. The school's overall proficiency in Reading (44.30%) and Mathematics (37.90%) for the 2025-2026 school year falls below state averages by about 10 and 9 percentage points, respectively. However, a notable bright spot is 5th-grade Science, where 55.56% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, dramatically outperforming the state average of 29.57%. The school spends $10,624 per student and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 14.7:1, with 51.79% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
The most concerning trend is the persistent weakness in Mathematics across all tested grades, with 4th-grade Math proficiency (27.85%) being nearly 18 points below the state average. Reading performance is inconsistent across grade levels, with 4th-grade Reading dropping sharply from 45.45% to 33.33% between school years. Despite reasonable resources and class sizes, the school's declining performance suggests that instructional quality or curriculum effectiveness may need attention. The Science anomaly indicates a potential area of strength that could be replicated in other subjects to improve overall outcomes.
