Summary:
The 77085 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, operated by a mix of public school districts such as Houston Independent School District (ISD) and KIPP Texas Public Schools. The schools in this area serve a high-need population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 81.9% to 98.0%.
Among the standout schools in the area is Windsor Village Elementary, a public magnet school that has consistently ranked among the top 1,500 elementary schools in Texas and earned 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. Another impressive school is Accelerated Intermediate Charter School, which has seen a dramatic improvement in its statewide ranking, going from the bottom 25% of Texas middle schools to the top 20% in recent years.
However, the data also reveals stark disparities in academic performance among the schools in this area. While some schools like Windsor Village and Accelerated Intermediate excel, others like KIPP Mosaic Academy struggle, especially in math. This suggests significant inequities in educational opportunities and resources, which may be exacerbated by the high-poverty nature of the communities served by these schools. Addressing these challenges and supporting the unique needs of these schools will be crucial for ensuring all students in the 77085 zip code have access to a quality education.
