Summary:
The 77028 zip code area of Houston, Texas is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD) or the Varnett Public School district. While the area faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with high poverty rates and predominantly minority student populations, one school stands out as a potential bright spot.
Kashmere High School is the lowest-performing school in the area, ranking 1,674 out of 1,987 Texas high schools and with a 4-year graduation rate of just 71.8%. Its test scores are consistently below the HISD and Texas averages across all subject areas. In contrast, The Varnett School - Northeast, a public charter elementary/middle school, outperforms the HISD and Texas averages in several grade levels and subject areas, despite serving a similarly disadvantaged population.
The other schools in the 77028 zip code area, including Hilliard Elementary, Elmore Elementary, and McGowen Elementary, also struggle to meet state and district averages, highlighting the persistent disparities in educational opportunities and resources available to students in this community.
