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 Hispanic and African American student population, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the area.
Among the standout schools, Yes Prep North Forest, a public charter school, has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.1% and shows some strengths in its test scores, particularly in U.S. History and English II Reading. North Forest Elementary also stands out with stronger test scores in 3rd and 4th grade reading and math compared to the other schools in the area. However, overall, the test scores across the schools are generally below state and district averages, highlighting the challenges faced by these high-poverty schools.
The data suggests that the schools in this zip code serve a predominantly low-income student population, which likely contributes to the lower academic performance observed. This underscores the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific learning needs of the students. Additionally, there may be opportunities for collaboration and resource sharing among the Yes Prep Public Schools Inc, Houston Independent School District (Isd), and community stakeholders to develop and implement effective strategies for improving student achievement in this area.
