Summary:
The 75001 zip code area is home to a single public elementary school, George Herbert Walker Bush Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 624 students. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (56.25%) and African American (31.57%), and a significant majority (80.29%) of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income community.
Academically, George Herbert Walker Bush Elementary has seen a mixed performance compared to district and state averages. While the school's 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade reading proficiency rates are above the district average, they fall below the state average. In math, the 3rd and 5th-grade proficiency rates are above the district average, but the 4th-grade rate is below both the district and state averages. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate is significantly lower than the district and state averages. This mixed academic performance has contributed to a decline in the school's statewide ranking, dropping from 1456 out of 4581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 2697 out of 4675 in 2023-2024, and a decrease in its overall SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 2 stars out of 5.
Despite the challenges, the school's performance in some areas, such as 3rd and 5th-grade reading proficiency, suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from its successful practices and implement targeted interventions to address the areas of concern. The high percentage of low-income students is likely a contributing factor to the academic performance challenges, and addressing the socioeconomic needs of the community could be an important consideration in developing strategies to improve the school's overall quality of education.
