Summary:
The 77471 zip code area is home to 11 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, except for one high school that is part of the Brookesmith Independent School District. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with standouts like Thomas R Culver Elementary and Taylor Ray Elementary leading the way in academic achievement.
Graduation rates across the high schools are strong, ranging from 90.5% to 91.1%, above the state average. However, test scores on STAAR exams vary widely, with some schools like Lamar Cons High School and B F Terry High School performing below district and state averages. The data also highlights the unique role of the Alternative Learning Center, which serves a specialized student population with a very low student-teacher ratio and a 0% dropout rate.
Overall, the 77471 zip code area faces significant economic challenges, with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58% to 95% across the schools. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to help address performance gaps and ensure all students in the community have access to a high-quality education.
