Summary:
The 77050 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Marshall Elementary and North Forest Elementary) and 1 high school (Yes Prep North Forest). These schools serve a predominantly minority student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools, Yes Prep North Forest stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.7% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%, though its academic performance as measured by STAAR test scores is generally below the Houston Independent School District (Isd) and state averages. North Forest Elementary, a charter school, has stronger academic performance compared to the other schools, with 3rd-grade reading and math proficiency rates above the district and state averages.
The data reveals a significant disparity in academic performance between the schools, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and educational approaches, may be contributing to the differences in student outcomes. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools indicates that these schools are serving communities with significant economic challenges, which can create additional barriers to student success.
