Summary:
The 76454 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Gorman Independent School District (ISD). While Gorman High School stands out with a high graduation rate and strong performance on the U.S. History STAAR EOC exam, the overall academic performance of the schools in this area lags behind state averages, with some concerning trends at Maxfield Elementary.
Maxfield Elementary has a more diverse student population, with nearly half of its students being Hispanic, but its academic performance has declined in recent years, dropping from the top 17% of Texas elementary schools to the bottom 70%. In contrast, Gorman High School boasts a 96.8% 4-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, though it still trails the state average on most STAAR EOC exams. Across all three schools, high percentages of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting potential socioeconomic challenges that may be contributing to the overall lower academic performance.
While Gorman High School stands out as a relative strength in the area, the data indicates that the schools in the 76454 zip code face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the declining performance at Maxfield Elementary and the broader equity concerns across the Gorman ISD.
