Summary:
The 76470 zip code area is home to three schools - Ranger Elementary, Ranger High School, and Ranger Middle - all of which are part of the Ranger Independent School District (Isd). Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across multiple metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and socioeconomic factors.
Academically, all three schools struggle, with significantly lower proficiency rates on STAAR/STAAR EOC tests compared to the state averages, particularly in reading and math. For example, in 2023-2024, only 8.7% of 3rd graders at Ranger Elementary were proficient in reading, compared to the state average of 48.85%. Similarly, Ranger High School has only 17.65% of students proficient in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 44.73%. Additionally, the 4-year graduation rate at Ranger High School is just 71.0%, well below the state average.
Socioeconomic factors also present challenges for these schools, with all three having very high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 77.07% to 78.26%, indicating a high-poverty student population. Spending per student is also relatively low, ranging from $10,446 to $14,313 per student. This lack of resources, combined with the consistently low academic performance, suggests that the schools in the 76470 zip code area face systemic challenges that need to be addressed to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for students in this community.
