Summary:
The 77469 zip code area in Texas is home to 17 schools, including 12 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, all part of the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 213 out of 968 in Texas and has a 4-star rating, the schools in this area show a wide range of performance, with some standouts and others in need of improvement.
The highest-performing school in the area is George Ranch High School, which ranks 206th out of 1,987 Texas high schools and has a 4-star rating. It boasts strong test scores, with over 80% proficiency in key subjects, and a high 4-year graduation rate of 97.2%. Another standout is Reading JH, a middle school that ranks 171st out of 2,361 Texas middle schools and has a 5-star rating, with impressive proficiency rates in 6th-8th grade Reading and Math. At the elementary level, Don Carter Elementary is the highest-ranked, coming in at 332nd out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools with a 5-star rating and strong test scores.
However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools in the area, both in terms of test scores and other metrics like graduation and dropout rates. This suggests that there are substantial inequities in educational opportunities and resources within the district, with a strong correlation between a school's socioeconomic status (as measured by free/reduced lunch rates) and its academic performance. While some schools are clearly excelling, the data highlights opportunities for improvement, particularly at the lower-performing elementary and high schools, through targeted interventions and resource allocation.
