Best Public Schools in Zip Code 75968


Summary:

The 75968 zip code area is home to two schools, West Sabine Elementary and West Sabine High School, both part of the West Sabine Independent School District (ISD). While the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with over 70% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, they exhibit some notable strengths and challenges.

West Sabine High School stands out with an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.4% dropout rate, significantly outperforming the state averages. However, both schools struggle with academic performance, consistently scoring below the state average on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests across various grade levels and subject areas. For instance, West Sabine Elementary's 3rd-grade reading proficiency rate was just 22.45%, compared to the state average of 48.85%.

Despite the higher spending per student at West Sabine High School ($12,531) compared to West Sabine Elementary ($10,740), the high school's test scores remain below the state average, suggesting that higher funding alone may not be a guarantee of better academic outcomes. The schools' challenges may be linked to the significant economic disadvantages faced by their student populations, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of these communities.
