Summary:
The 75652 zip code area is home to two schools - Henderson High School and Northside Elementary, both serving diverse student populations in the Henderson Independent School District (Isd). While Henderson High School boasts a strong graduation rate and low dropout rate, both schools struggle with academic performance, particularly in math and science, falling significantly below state averages on STAAR exams.
Henderson High School, with 1,042 students, has a diverse student body, with 46.16% White, 19.19% African American, and 31.67% Hispanic students. The school's graduation rate of 95.7% is above the state average, and its dropout rate of 0.1% is very low. However, its performance on STAAR end-of-course exams is generally below state averages, with the exception of U.S. History. Northside Elementary, a smaller school with 484 students in grades 4-5, also serves a diverse population, with 38.22% White, 21.07% African American, and 34.09% Hispanic students.

Both schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with 60.17% at Henderson High School and 64.26% at Northside Elementary. The per-student spending at these schools is also below the state average, which may contribute to the academic performance challenges. Addressing the funding and resource disparities, as well as implementing targeted interventions and strategies to support the diverse student populations, could be crucial steps in improving the educational outcomes for students in the 75652 zip code area.
