Summary:
The 77076 zip code area of Houston, Texas is home to 12 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. This diverse set of schools serves a predominantly Hispanic student population, with many facing challenges of high poverty and underperformance compared to district and state averages.
Among the standout schools in the area is Yes Prep - Northline, a public charter high school that performs well above the district and state, with a 3-star rating and strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. Another high-performing school is Lyons Elementary, which exceeds district and state proficiency rates in reading and math. However, many other schools in the area struggle, with test scores well below the district and state averages.
The schools in the 77076 zip code face significant challenges, with the majority serving student populations that are over 90% Hispanic and have free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 81.61% to 98.77%, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. While spending per student is relatively consistent across the schools, the stark differences in performance suggest that factors such as school leadership, teacher quality, and resource allocation may be playing a role in the observed outcomes. Targeted interventions and support will be crucial to address these performance gaps and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the area.
