Whitney Int

Whitney Int serves 324 students in grades three through five in Whitney, Texas, earning a composite score of 9.0 out of 10 — a rating the platform labels Exceptional. The school ranks 174th among 8,547 public schools in Texas, placing it in the top 2 percent statewide and first among all four public schools in Whitney. The growth score of 9.9 out of 10 is the standout number here.

That figure measures how much students advance relative to peers with similar starting points — a strong indicator of instructional quality that holds independent of a school's demographics or incoming achievement level. The academic score of 8.3 reinforces that growth is translating into real achievement, not just upward trajectory. A student-teacher ratio of 13.5 to 1 gives teachers meaningful room to work.

That's a structural advantage at the intermediate level, where students are navigating a shift from foundational skills to more demanding academic content. Among the nearly 4,700 elementary schools ranked in Texas, Whitney Int lands at 113th — a position that reflects consistently strong performance across both achievement and growth dimensions.

Located in a rural area, Whitney Int 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.
