Summary:
The 77406 zip code area is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, which are part of the Fort Bend Independent School District (ISD) and the Lamar Consolidated ISD. The data reveals a wide range of academic performance, with some standout schools like Foster High School and Joe Hubenak Elementary consistently ranking among the top schools in Texas, while others struggle to meet state and district averages on standardized tests.
The high-performing schools, such as Foster High School and Judge James C Adolphus Elementary, boast impressive graduation rates, low dropout rates, and STAAR test scores that are significantly above the district and state averages. These schools also tend to have higher per-student spending, suggesting a correlation between adequate funding and strong academic outcomes. In contrast, the lower-performing schools, like Pecan Grove Elementary, often have STAAR scores that lag behind their peers, pointing to potential disparities in resources and educational quality.
The data also reveals notable differences between the two school districts, with the Lamar Consolidated ISD generally outperforming the Fort Bend ISD on standardized tests, even when controlling for factors like free/reduced lunch rates. This suggests that the quality of education may vary between the two districts, highlighting the need for a closer examination of the factors that contribute to student success in this area.
