Summary:
The 75691 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Tatum Independent School District (ISD), including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole performs well, the schools in this area face some challenges related to socioeconomic factors and equity.
Tatum High School stands out with an excellent 100% four-year graduation rate and strong performance on STAAR end-of-course exams, exceeding state averages in several subjects. However, the school also has a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds (51.08% free/reduced lunch). In contrast, Tatum Elementary School impresses with its 5th-grade reading proficiency rate of 66.67%, well above the state average, but also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (63.08% free/reduced lunch).
Across the district, there are mixed academic results, with some grades and subjects performing above the state average while others fall below. The high rates of economic disadvantage, ranging from 51.08% at Tatum High School to 67.05% at Tatum Pri, may contribute to these performance challenges. The district also faces potential equity concerns, with varying levels of racial diversity across the schools and inconsistencies in resource allocation and student-teacher ratios. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to ensure all students in the Tatum ISD have access to high-quality educational opportunities.
