Sunray EL

Sunray El serves 303 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as a regular public school in Sunray, Texas. The school earns an Exceptional composite score of 9.2 out of 10, backed by an 8.7 academic score and a 9.4 growth score. With a 12.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio, classrooms stay small enough for individual attention across all grade levels.

The numbers place Sunray El well above its peers. It ranks 61st out of 4,678 elementary schools in Texas, putting it in the top two percent of all elementary schools statewide. Across the full public school universe, it sits at #86 out of 8,547 schools — outperforming 99% of Texas public schools.

Among Sunray's three public schools, it holds the top spot. The 9.4 growth score is especially meaningful. Growth measures how much students advance relative to peers starting at the same level, so a near-perfect score signals students here are gaining ground faster than almost every comparable school in the state.

Combined with a strong academic baseline, Sunray El delivers both high achievement and consistent upward momentum — a combination that separates genuinely strong schools from those that simply benefit from advantaged starting points.

Located in a rural area, Sunray EL 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.
