Summary:
The 79086 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Sunray Collegiate Independent School District (ISD). While the district faces some socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Sunray High School stands out as a top performer, ranking in the top 30% of Texas high schools and boasting impressive graduation and low dropout rates. In contrast, Sunray Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, despite maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Sunray High School's students consistently outperform the state average on STAAR EOC exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 64% to 80.85% across different subjects and years. This exceptional academic performance is coupled with a 97.2% four-year graduation rate and only a 0.3% dropout rate. In comparison, Sunray Middle School has shown more variable results, with relatively strong performance in STAAR Reading but more inconsistent scores in Mathematics and Science.
The data also reveals potential funding disparities within the district, with Sunray High School spending significantly more per student ($18,159) than the elementary ($11,234) and middle ($11,683) schools. This difference in resource allocation may contribute to the observed performance gaps between the schools and is an area that the district may need to address to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
