Summary:
The 76651 zip code area is home to two schools - Stafford Elementary and Italy High School, both part of the Italy Independent School District (Isd). While Stafford Elementary serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, Italy High School stands out with a strong graduation rate and solid performance on STAAR Reading tests, though it struggles in other subject areas.
Stafford Elementary has a relatively high percentage of white students compared to the state average, but its test scores are generally lower than state averages across most STAAR subjects and grade levels. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch (70.39%) and lower spending per student ($12,470) compared to Italy High School.

Overall, the data highlights the challenges faced by these schools in serving economically disadvantaged communities and the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes across various academic domains. While Italy High School shows some strengths, both schools have room for improvement, particularly in areas where they underperform the state average, such as STAAR Math and Science tests.
