Summary:
The 76132 zip code area is home to two schools - Oakmont Elementary and Wedgwood 6th Gr School. While Oakmont Elementary serves grades PK-5, Wedgwood 6th Gr School focuses solely on 6th grade students. Both schools serve predominantly economically disadvantaged student populations, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Oakmont Elementary has a relatively diverse student body, with a mix of African American, Hispanic, and White students. However, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 1,748 out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 2,964 out of 4,647 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school may be underperforming compared to its peers. In contrast, Wedgwood 6th Gr School has a majority Hispanic and African American student population, and does not have any statewide ranking history available, making it difficult to assess the school's long-term performance.
Both schools face challenges in terms of academic performance, with STAAR test scores generally below the district and state averages. However, the schools also receive relatively high levels of funding, with Oakmont Elementary spending $10,899 per student and Wedgwood 6th Gr School spending $12,385 per student. This suggests that the economic disadvantages faced by the student populations may be a significant factor in the schools' academic struggles, and further targeted interventions may be necessary to improve outcomes for these students.
