Summary:
The 77503 zip code area in Texas is home to 12 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades, spread across two school districts - Pasadena Independent School District (ISD) and Deer Park ISD. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high rates of economic disadvantage, a few standout institutions emerge based on their academic performance and other key metrics.
McMasters Elementary in Pasadena ISD is a top performer, with over 60% of 3rd and 4th graders scoring proficient or better on STAAR reading tests, and strong math results as well. In contrast, Deepwater Elementary and The Summit (High School) are struggling, with STAAR scores well below state and district averages. Interestingly, per-student spending does not seem to directly correlate with academic outcomes, as The Summit (High School) spends over $67,000 per student but has the lowest STAAR performance.
Among the middle schools, Deepwater J.H. in Deer Park ISD stands out, with particularly strong results in 8th grade math and Algebra I. However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between many of the 77503 schools and their district/state counterparts, suggesting a need for additional support and resources to improve student outcomes across the board.
