Summary:
The 75964 zip code area has only one school, Brooks-Quinn-Jones Elementary, a public elementary school serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 611 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic (55.65%) and African American (27.5%) students, and serves a high percentage (94.11%) of economically disadvantaged students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, Brooks-Quinn-Jones Elementary struggles, with STAAR test scores consistently below the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 20.41% in 4th grade Reading to 38.83% in 3rd grade Reading, compared to state averages of 50.66% and 48.85%, respectively. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 9.8% in 5th grade to 39.22% in 3rd grade, while the state averages were 48.96% and 40.86%. The school's performance in 5th grade Science was particularly low, with only 3.92% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 26.29%.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $10,722 and a student-to-teacher ratio of 13.9, which is slightly lower than the national average, the academic performance data suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or allocated to address the specific needs of the student population. The findings highlight the potential need for targeted interventions and support programs to address the challenges faced by the school's predominantly economically disadvantaged and diverse student body.
