Best Public Schools in Zip Code 75503

Summary:

The 75503 zip code area of Texarkana, Texas is home to 15 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 5 high schools. The data reveals a diverse landscape, with pockets of academic excellence alongside persistent challenges, especially for high-poverty schools.

The standout schools in the area are Martha & Josh Morriss Math & Engineering Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, and the schools in the Pleasant Grove Independent School District and the Red Lick Independent School District, which have strong test scores, high graduation rates, and low dropout rates. In contrast, some schools like Spring Lake Park Elementary and Highland Park Elementary struggle with much lower test scores, likely due to their high percentages of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

The data also suggests the importance of school choice, with magnet and charter schools like Martha & Josh Morriss Math & Engineering Elementary and Premier H.S. of Texarkana playing a role in student outcomes. Additionally, the performance of the Texarkana Independent School District schools appears to lag behind the smaller, more localized Pleasant Grove and Red Lick districts, suggesting the potential benefits of decentralized education governance.
