Hunt School

Hunt School is a public elementary school in Hunt, Texas, serving students in prekindergarten through eighth grade. With 200 students enrolled and a student-teacher ratio of 11.1:1, classes stay small and teachers can focus on individual students. The school earns a composite score of 9.4 out of 10, rated Exceptional, with academic and growth scores of 9.1 and 9.4 respectively.

Those numbers translate directly into statewide standing: Hunt School ranks 28th out of 4,678 elementary schools in Texas and 38th out of 8,547 public schools statewide — outperforming 100% of Texas public schools overall. That places Hunt School among a very small group of top performers across one of the largest state school systems in the country. Strong growth scores signal that students are not just arriving at high levels — they are advancing quickly year over year.

Combined with the low student-teacher ratio, the data suggests a learning environment where individual progress gets consistent attention. Families comparing elementary options in the Texas Hill Country will find Hunt School sitting at the top of nearly every meaningful academic measure available.

Located in a rural area, Hunt School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
