Summary:
The 77318 zip code area in Texas is home to two schools - Robert P Brabham Middle School and W Lloyd Meador Elementary School, both part of the Willis Independent School District (Isd). While the elementary school is a standout performer, outranking the district and state averages in reading and math proficiency, the middle school struggles to meet these benchmarks, with consistently low academic outcomes.
W Lloyd Meador Elementary School is a high-performing institution, ranked 1170 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts a lower student-teacher ratio of 16.5 and spends more per student ($8,536) than the middle school. In contrast, Robert P Brabham Middle School has a relatively high enrollment of 1,117 students and a higher student-teacher ratio of 21.3, along with lower spending per student ($7,947). The middle school's performance is below the district and state averages in most STAAR test subjects and grade levels, suggesting a need for focused improvement efforts.
The data also reveals notable differences in the racial demographics of the two schools, with the elementary school having a higher percentage of white students (68.4%) compared to the middle school (54.7%). The middle school, on the other hand, has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (32.5%) than the elementary school (21.23%). These demographic variations may be an area for further investigation to understand their potential impact on academic outcomes.
