Summary:
The 77057 zip code area of Houston, Texas is home to 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD) except for the two charter schools which are part of the Southwest Public Schools district.
The standout school in the area is T.H. Rogers School, an alternative public magnet school with exceptional academic performance, with over 90% of students proficient or better in reading, math, science, and social studies across all grade levels. Pilgrim Academy, an elementary/middle school, also has strong academic performance, with reading and math proficiency rates above the district and state averages in most grade levels. In contrast, the two charter schools, Empowerment High School and Discovery Middle, have lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages.
The data reveals a significant performance gap between the top-performing school, T.H. Rogers, and the lower-performing schools. There is also a correlation between high free/reduced lunch rates and lower academic performance, with schools serving more economically disadvantaged students struggling to meet state and district averages. Understanding the factors contributing to these performance differences could inform strategies to improve educational outcomes for all students in the 77057 zip code area.
