Summary:
The 75602 zip code area in Longview, Texas is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school, serving students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. While the standout school in the area is Hudson Elementary, which is ranked 2nd out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools, the other schools in the area struggle to match its academic performance.
Hudson Elementary boasts consistently high test scores, with over 95% of students proficient or better in reading and math. In contrast, Ware Elementary and Clarence W. Bailey Elementary have much lower test scores and rankings, with a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Foster Middle School, however, performs well, with students scoring above the district and state averages in most subject areas.
The data suggests that factors beyond just funding and student-teacher ratios, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and curriculum, may be driving the differences in academic outcomes. Additionally, the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the lower-performing elementary schools indicate that these schools serve economically disadvantaged communities, which may contribute to the achievement gap. Overall, the data highlights the significant disparities in educational outcomes within the 75602 zip code area, and addressing the challenges faced by the struggling schools could help improve educational equity and student achievement across the Longview Independent School District (Isd).
