Summary:
Zip code 77564 is served by a single school, Hull-Daisetta Elementary, a public school within the Hull-Daisetta Independent School District (Isd) that serves 266 students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade in a community where nearly 69% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
As the only school in the area, Hull-Daisetta Elementary is in a concerning state of academic decline. Over the past three years, its state ranking has dropped from the 20th percentile to the 12th percentile, consistently earning a 1-star rating. Across all subjects and grade levels, student proficiency rates fall significantly below state averages. For the 2025-2026 school year, average reading proficiency was 35.6% (compared to the state average of roughly 54%), and average math proficiency was 28.8% (compared to roughly 45%). The most alarming data point is in 5th grade science for the 2024-2025 school year, where only 3.03% of students were proficient, versus a state average of 29.57%. The school's best performance was in 4th grade reading at 45.83% proficiency, which still fell short of the state average of 53.04%.
A key paradox is that the school spends $11,951 per student, a relatively high figure that does not translate into strong academic outcomes. This suggests that funding alone is not solving the underlying challenges, which may include the high level of economic disadvantage among students. The district itself is ranked 911 out of 951 districts in Texas, placing it in the 4th percentile. While the 4th grade reading score offers a small glimmer of hope, the overall picture is one of a school requiring urgent, systemic intervention to reverse its downward trend and address critical gaps, especially in science instruction.
