Starkey Elementary received an F rating with 58 points, serving 434 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. The campus represents the only failing school in Kerr County and faces significant academic challenges across all accountability domains.

Distinction Designations: Despite its overall F rating, Starkey Elementary earned one distinction designation for Academic Achievement in Social Studies, indicating exceptional performance in at least one academic area.

The school’s performance breakdown reveals systemic issues: Student Achievement scored just 41 points, School Progress earned 46 points, and most concerning, the Closing the Gaps domain scored zero points. This final metric measures how well schools serve all student groups, particularly those who have been historically underserved.

Starkey’s overall score of 58 points falls 24.6 points below the Kerrville ISD district average of 82.6 points, highlighting the stark disparity within the district. The F rating triggers immediate state intervention requirements under Texas Education Code.

As an F-rated campus, Starkey Elementary must develop and submit a Targeted Improvement Plan to the Texas Education Agency by November 14, 2025. The school will work with Region 20 Education Service Center specialists to implement the state’s Effective Schools Framework, which focuses on building instructional capacity and improving student outcomes.

The campus faces potential escalating consequences if performance doesn’t improve. Should Starkey receive a second consecutive F rating, it would be required to develop a campus turnaround plan. Three consecutive F ratings could trigger more severe interventions, including potential closure or reconstitution.

District officials and campus leadership will need to address underlying factors contributing to the poor performance, which may include instructional quality, teacher retention, student demographics, and resource allocation. The contrast with other Kerrville ISD elementary schools—Fred H. Tally Elementary earned an A rating with 92 points—demonstrates that improvement is possible within the district’s framework.
