Summary:
The 73179 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the schools in the Mustang district and those in the Western Heights district.
Mustang Valley Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with strong test scores and a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch students. In contrast, the Western Heights schools lag behind the state and district averages, despite spending more per student and having lower student-teacher ratios.
The data suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in shaping the performance of these schools. While the Mustang schools serve a more affluent population, the Western Heights schools have much higher rates of free/reduced lunch recipients. This raises questions about educational equity and the distribution of resources within the broader school district. Overall, the analysis highlights the need to consider a range of contextual factors when evaluating school performance and addressing systemic inequities.
