Summary:
In zip code 76360, there is a single elementary school, Electra Elementary, serving grades PK through 6 in the Electra Independent School District (Isd), a rural area with a total enrollment of 233 students.
Electra Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently scoring well below state averages in Reading and Mathematics across all tested grade levels. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, only 28% of 3rd graders were proficient in Reading compared to the state average of 51%, and 24% were proficient in Math versus 44% statewide. The school has ranked in the bottom 12-17% of Texas elementary schools for three consecutive years, earning a 1-star rating. A very high percentage of students (73.39%) are eligible for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. However, the school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.7:1, which is lower than many averages and suggests potential for more individualized attention.
An interesting bright spot is 5th-grade Science, where the school's proficiency rate of 33.33% actually exceeded the state average of 29.57% in the 2024-2025 school year. This is a stark contrast to its performance in Reading and Math and could indicate a particularly effective teacher or curriculum. Additionally, there is a slight upward trend in Math proficiency for grades 4, 5, and 6 from the 2024-2025 to the 2025-2026 school year. The school's per-student spending of $10,679 and low student-teacher ratio suggest resources are available, but the high poverty rate likely drives the need for non-academic support services, which may not directly translate into higher test scores.
