Summary:
The 75041 zip code area of Garland, Texas is home to 12 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. This diverse set of schools serves a student population with varying levels of academic performance and economic backgrounds.
The standout schools in this area are the public magnet elementary schools Watson Technology Center and Hillside Academy For Excel, which rank among the top 5% of elementary schools in Texas and have significantly higher test scores across reading, math, and science compared to district and state averages. In contrast, Sam Houston Middle and Garland AEC high school struggle, with consistently low rankings and test scores as well as high dropout rates.
Many of the schools in the 75041 area serve high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 60% to over 90%. This likely presents challenges in providing adequate support and resources. Addressing the needs of these students, as well as improving performance at the middle and high school levels, could be key priorities for the Garland Independent School District and the Texas College Preparatory Academies district that oversees the charter school in this area.
