Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 79086 (Sunray, TX) serve 593 students across grades PK-12 within the Sunray Collegiate Independent School District (Isd), a 3-star district ranking in the 65th percentile statewide.
Sunray High School is the district's standout performer, earning a 4-star rating with a perfect 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate. It excels in Algebra I (67.31% proficient vs. 47.01% state) and English I Reading (65.38% vs. 51.26% state), though its state ranking has slipped from the 77th to the 52nd percentile. Sunray Middle is the most improved school, jumping from a 2-star to a 4-star rating (39th to 74th percentile) and now outperforming state averages in all math grades. Sunray Elementary is the most volatile, rebounding from a 1-star rating to a 3-star rating, with strong early reading scores (64.71% of 3rd graders proficient) but severe math struggles (only 27.27% of 4th graders proficient vs. 49.28% state).
A critical district-wide weakness is science: 5th-grade science proficiency was just 6.98% (vs. 29.57% state) and 8th-grade science was 21.15% (vs. 46.25% state), though high school Biology (70.59%) exceeds the state average. The high school's higher spending per student ($18,159) and lower student-teacher ratio (10.1:1) appear to drive strong outcomes, while the elementary school's math struggles suggest a foundation issue that the middle school's math success is overcoming. Overall, the district offers a mixed picture: excellent high school outcomes, a rapidly improving middle school, and an elementary school with bright spots in reading but significant challenges in math and science.
