Summary:
The 76857 zip code in Texas is home to two schools: May High School and May Elementary, both part of the May Independent School District (Isd). While May High School has a strong 95.2% four-year graduation rate, significantly above the state average, May Elementary struggles with academic performance, with proficiency rates generally below the state average.
May High School's STAAR exam results are mixed, with some subjects like English II Reading and U.S. History scoring well above the state average, while others like Algebra I and Biology fall short. In contrast, May Elementary's STAAR reading and math proficiency rates are consistently below the state average, except for 3rd and 4th grade reading. This disparity in academic performance between the two schools is noteworthy, especially given that May Elementary serves a relatively low-income student population, with 71.67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Both schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, with May High School at 9.5 and May Elementary at 10.1. However, the higher spending per student at May Elementary ($13,273 compared to $11,721 at May High School) does not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes. Overall, while May High School is performing reasonably well, May Elementary faces significant challenges in improving student achievement and meeting state standards.
