Summary:
The 75172 zip code area is home to two elementary schools: Eddie Bernice Johnson STEM Academy, a public school, and Golden Rule Schools Inc - Wilmer, a public charter school. While the schools serve a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population, they exhibit stark contrasts in terms of student enrollment, academic performance, and funding.
Eddie Bernice Johnson STEM Academy has a relatively large student population of 502, with a diverse racial makeup and a high percentage (91.83%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the Dallas Independent School District and state averages. In contrast, Golden Rule Schools Inc - Wilmer has a much smaller student population of only 17, with a 100% Hispanic student body and a similarly high percentage (82.35%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While this school's spending per student ($14,995) is significantly higher than the state average, it does not have any available STAAR test score data.
The stark contrast in school sizes and the varying levels of academic performance and funding suggest that the educational options and resources available to families in the 75172 zip code may be limited. The high levels of economic disadvantage across both schools also raise concerns about the ability to provide adequate support and resources for the students. These findings highlight the need for a deeper understanding of the educational landscape in this area, with a focus on addressing the academic performance challenges, ensuring equitable access to resources, and supporting the economically disadvantaged student population.
