Robert F Hunt El, Diana TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Robert F Hunt El

Robert F Hunt Elementary serves pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Diana, a rural unincorporated community in eastern Upshur County. The school enrolls a small student body spread across all early elementary grades, with a clear majority of students identifying as white and a smaller share Black, Hispanic, or multiracial. About half the enrollment qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch.

On the most recent state assessments, the school shows stronger performance in English language arts than in mathematics or science. In third grade, about three-quarters of students scored at proficiency or above in reading, while just over half met that standard in math. By fifth grade, four in five students achieved proficiency in reading, but only about two-thirds reached it in math. Science proficiency at fifth grade sits notably lower, around half. The pattern suggests growing student competency as grades progress in reading, while math gains ground more modestly and science requires closer attention.

At the aggregate level across all tested grades and subjects, the school's proficiency index places it at the top quartile among the seven school districts in Upshur County. This standing reflects the relatively strong performance in reading and social studies, where substantial shares of students meet or exceed state benchmarks. The school reports that a sizable majority of students approach or exceed proficiency standards across all subjects when those lower performance bands are included.

The school sits at a highway intersection in a community that is growing residentially, with new subdivisions and custom-built homes drawing families from nearby Longview. Housing values in the zip code are moderate, and owner-occupied homes carry monthly mortgage costs within reach of mid-income earners. The community itself has no downtown core; the New Diana ISD campuses and local churches function as civic anchors. Most residents commute to larger cities for employment, though the school district is itself a meaningful local employer.

State testing data for participation rates was not available. Special education enrollment and English learner enrollment figures were also missing, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about these populations and the services available to support them. Data on chronic absenteeism, discipline, staff composition, or before- and after-school programming were not provided. A family considering Robert F Hunt might focus conversations with the school on where mathematics and science instruction are headed, what support exists for students who did not yet reach proficiency, and how the school engages families in the community's residential growth.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
