Summary:
The 75966 zip code area is home to three schools - Newton Elementary, Newton Middle, and Newton High School - all part of the Newton Independent School District (Isd). While the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, they also demonstrate some areas of strength, such as high graduation rates and low dropout rates.
Newton High School stands out with an impressive 100% 4-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average. Meanwhile, Newton Middle School has a relatively low 0.6% dropout rate, better than the state average. However, Newton Elementary has a high percentage of students (81.84%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic need in the student population.
The schools in the 75966 zip code area generally perform below the state average on standardized tests, with some exceptions, such as Newton High School's U.S. History scores being closer to the state average. The schools also have relatively small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios ranging from 8.1 to 12.1. While the Newton Independent School District (Isd) as a whole is ranked 794 out of 968 districts in Texas and rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, the individual schools demonstrate both strengths and areas for improvement.
