About Munday EL
Munday Elementary serves 205 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Munday, Texas, operating as a regular public school with an 11.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio. That lean ratio means more direct instruction time per student — a concrete structural advantage that shows up in the numbers. Those numbers are striking.
Munday El earns a composite score of 9.7 out of 10, rated Exceptional, and ranks 8th out of 8,547 public schools statewide — meaning it outperforms 100% of Texas schools. The academic score stands at 9.1, but the standout figure is a perfect 10.0 in growth, reflecting how much students advance year over year regardless of where they start. Among elementary schools specifically, the results hold: Munday El ranks 6th out of 4,678 elementary schools in Texas.
For a small campus of just over 200 students in a rural community, that placement against nearly five thousand peers is a clear signal of sustained instructional effectiveness. Parents comparing elementary options in the region will find it difficult to identify a stronger performing school on measurable outcomes. The data makes a straightforward case — Munday El is not just competitive locally, it is among the strongest-performing elementary campuses in the state.
