Summary:
In zip code 79086, there is one elementary school, Sunray Elementary, serving grades PK through 5 in the Sunray, Texas area, which is part of the Sunray Collegiate Independent School District (Isd).
Sunray Elementary has shown a dramatic turnaround in recent years. After ranking in the 25th percentile statewide in the 2024-2025 school year, the school jumped to the 51st percentile in 2025-2026, a remarkable improvement of over 1,200 positions. This progress is reflected in test scores, with 3rd grade reading proficiency rising from 45.71% to 64.71% and 4th grade reading jumping from 29.73% to 63.64% in just one year. The school serves 256 students with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.1, and 54.3% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch.
Despite the overall improvement, mathematics remains a significant challenge. In the 2025-2026 school year, every grade level scored below the state average in math, with 4th grade math proficiency at just 27.27% compared to the state average of 49.28%. Additionally, 5th grade science proficiency was an extremely low 6.98% in 2024-2025, though no recent data is available to see if this has improved. The school also shows inconsistent performance across grade levels, with 5th graders falling below the state average in reading even as 3rd and 4th graders exceeded it. The recent gains suggest effective interventions are working, but math and science instruction remain key areas for continued focus.
