Summary:
The 77486 zip code area is home to two schools - Columbia High School and West Columbia Elementary, both part of the Columbia-Brazoria Independent School District (Isd). While the high school has a relatively high graduation rate and strong performance in certain subjects, the elementary school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in reading and math. Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with over 59% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Columbia High School stands out for its 95.9% 4-year graduation rate and low 0.2% dropout rate. The school also performs well in Biology and English II STAAR EOC exams, exceeding district and state averages. However, its overall STAAR EOC proficiency rates are more mixed, ranging from 11.71% in Algebra I to 67.05% in English II Reading.
In contrast, West Columbia Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in 5th grade STAAR Reading and Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 23.89% in Science to 60.18% in Reading. The school's strong academic performance, coupled with its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, suggests that it may be effectively addressing the unique needs of its student population.
