Summary:
The 75657 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Jefferson Independent School District (ISD), including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools serve a high-need student population, with most having over 65% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, there are notable differences in academic performance and resource allocation across the schools.
Jefferson High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 96.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.5%. The school also performs above the district and state averages on some STAAR end-of-course exams, particularly in U.S. History. In contrast, Jefferson J H struggles the most, with low proficiency rates across multiple grade levels and subjects.
Regarding resources, Jefferson Pri School has significantly higher spending per student at $16,563, compared to the other schools in the area. However, it's unclear if this higher investment translates to better outcomes for students. The data suggests that the schools in the 75657 zip code face demographic challenges, with all schools serving a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the overall lower academic performance observed across the district.
