Summary:
The 77488 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Wharton Independent School District (ISD), including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools serve a diverse student population, they face significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Among the standout schools, Wharton J H (middle school) stands out for its low student-teacher ratio and strong performance in Algebra I EOC, but its overall STAAR test scores are relatively low. In contrast, C G Sivells Elementary has the highest percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population, and the lowest spending per student in the district.
The schools in the 77488 zip code area consistently underperform the state averages on STAAR test scores, with proficiency rates well below 50% in most subject areas and grade levels. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes for students in this district. Additionally, the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to the schools' challenges and require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of these students.
