Summary:
The 75935 zip code area is home to 6 schools across 2 school districts, serving students from elementary through high school. The schools in this area face significant academic challenges, with most performing below state averages on standardized tests. However, the data also reveals some standout schools and unique characteristics worth noting.
Among the standout schools is Excelsior Elementary, a small school with a very low student-teacher ratio of 7:1. While its test scores lag behind, this intimate learning environment may provide benefits for its 74 students. In contrast, Roughrider Academy, an alternative high school, boasts an impressive 92.3% 4-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, outperforming the district and state averages despite lower test scores.
Across the schools, high poverty levels are evident, with 74-80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This economic disadvantage likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by these schools. Additionally, the schools exhibit a wide range of SchoolDigger ratings, from 0 to 4 stars, indicating varying levels of performance. Further analysis may be needed to identify the factors driving these disparities and develop targeted strategies to support student success in the Center Independent School District and Excelsior Independent School District.
