Summary:

Zip code 77871 is home to one elementary school, Normangee Elementary, which serves grades Pre-K through 5th and is part of the Normangee Independent School District (Isd) in a small, rural Texas community.

Normangee Elementary has 308 students and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.6, which supports smaller class sizes. The school shows a clear pattern of strength in math and science, particularly in 5th grade. In the 2025-2026 school year, 75.51% of 5th graders were proficient in math, far exceeding the state average of 47.38%. Similarly, 5th grade science proficiency in 2024-2025 was 61.36%, more than double the state average of 29.57%. This consistent "5th grade effect" suggests a highly effective upper-grade teaching team or curriculum. However, reading scores are a challenge, with 3rd grade reading proficiency (44.12%) falling below the state average (51.08%). The school ranks in the 65th percentile statewide (1,602 out of 4,627 elementary schools), and its district ranks in the 74th percentile, indicating above-average overall performance.

Despite over half of its students (51.3%) being economically disadvantaged, Normangee Elementary achieves strong results in math and science, effectively closing the achievement gap in those subjects. The school's state ranking has slightly declined from the 71st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 65th percentile in 2025-2026, but this appears to be a minor fluctuation as test scores in key areas have improved. For parents, the school offers a solid foundation with standout upper-grade math and science instruction, though reading support may be an area to monitor. Per-student spending is $10,776, reflecting a reasonable investment in resources for its size.
