Best Public Schools in Zip Code 76457


Summary:

The 76457 zip code in Texas is home to two schools: Hico Elementary and Hico High School, both part of the Hico Independent School District (Isd). While Hico High School stands out as a strong-performing school, Hico Elementary has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.

Hico High School boasts an impressive 96.4% 4-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, significantly outperforming state averages. The school's STAAR exam scores in reading and English are also above the Texas average, with 77.78% of students proficient or better in STAAR EOC/English II Reading, compared to the state average of 59.82%. In contrast, Hico Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 1425th out of 4,647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 2,752nd out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be underperforming compared to its peers.

Both schools have a relatively homogeneous student population, with a majority of White students and smaller Hispanic and African American representation. The district invests more than the state average in its schools, with Hico Elementary spending $11,034 per student and Hico High School spending $15,794 per student. However, the data does not provide insight into how these funds are being allocated or whether they are being used effectively to drive student outcomes, particularly at the elementary level where performance appears to be lagging.
