Summary:
In zip code 79521 (Haskell, TX), there is one elementary school, Haskell Elementary, serving grades PK through 5 with 277 students as part of the Haskell Consolidated Independent School District, which itself holds a strong 4-star rating and ranks in the 80th percentile statewide.
Haskell Elementary has shown a positive trend in its state ranking, moving from a 2-star rating (50th percentile) in 2023-2024 to a 3-star rating (55th percentile) in 2024-2025, and maintaining a 3-star rating (54th percentile) in 2025-2026. The school's overall proficiency across all subjects in 2025-2026 was 48.57%, slightly below the state average of 50.60%. A standout strength is 5th-grade mathematics, where 65% of students were proficient—a remarkable 17.62 percentage points above the state average. However, reading scores lag behind, with a school average of 50.49% compared to the state's 54.20%. The school serves a high-needs population, with 73.65% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and spends $11,443 per student.
A key takeaway is the dramatic contrast between subjects and grades. While 5th-grade math excels, 3rd-grade math proficiency was only 35.48% in 2025-2026, though this was a significant improvement from the previous year's 21.43%. This volatility suggests a need to investigate early-grade math instruction. Science is a bright spot, with 5th-grade scores (32.26% proficient in 2024-2025) exceeding the state average. Overall, Haskell Elementary is a school with clear strengths in upper-grade math and science, but faces challenges in reading and early-grade math, all while operating under the economic disadvantages common to its community.
