Summary:
The 76431 zip code area is home to three schools - Chico Elementary, Chico High School, and Chico Middle - all part of the Chico Independent School District (Isd). Among these schools, Chico Elementary stands out with its relatively high performance on STAAR reading and math tests, particularly in 4th and 5th grades, as well as strong 5th-grade science results. In contrast, Chico Middle and Chico High School generally perform below the state averages on STAAR tests, with some exceptions like Chico High School's impressive 92.7% 4-year graduation rate and low 1.2% dropout rate.
The student demographics across the three schools are relatively similar, with around 60-66% White and 28-37% Hispanic students. However, the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.9% at Chico High School to 58.78% at Chico Middle, suggest a need for additional support and resources to address potential socioeconomic challenges. The relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 8.4 at Chico High School to 12.8 at Chico Elementary, indicate that the schools may have the capacity to provide more individualized attention and support to students.
Overall, the data provides a comprehensive overview of the schools in the 76431 zip code area, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement. While Chico Elementary stands out as the strongest performer, the consistent underperformance of Chico Middle School compared to state averages on STAAR tests, particularly in math, is a concern that may require further investigation and targeted interventions. The high graduation rate and low dropout rate at Chico High School are also noteworthy, despite its mixed academic performance on STAAR EOC exams.
