Summary:
The 76849 zip code area is home to three schools - Junction Elementary, Junction High School, and Junction Middle - all part of the Junction Independent School District (Isd). While Junction High School and Junction Middle School demonstrate strong academic performance, with some subject areas exceeding state averages, Junction Elementary is struggling, with declining test scores and a high rate of economically disadvantaged students.
Junction High School stands out as a top performer, with an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate and above-average STAAR EOC exam scores in Biology and U.S. History. Junction Middle School also excels, outperforming the state average on STAAR Reading, Science, and Social Studies tests. In contrast, Junction Elementary has seen a significant drop in its statewide ranking, with test scores falling below state averages in most subject areas.
The data also reveals concerning equity issues, with high free/reduced lunch rates at all three schools, particularly at Junction Elementary (67.33%) and Junction Middle School (69.84%), suggesting a large population of economically disadvantaged students. This raises questions about the availability of resources and educational opportunities for these students compared to their more affluent peers.
