Summary:
The 77656 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Silsbee Independent School District (ISD), including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a predominantly white and economically disadvantaged student population, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Silsbee High School stands out as the strongest performer, with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 95.6% and low dropout rate of 1.0%. The school also outperforms the district and state averages on several STAAR End-of-Course exams, particularly in U.S. History. In contrast, Silsbee Elementary and Edwards-Johnson Memorial Middle generally perform below the state averages on STAAR Reading, Math, and Science tests.
One bright spot is Edwards-Johnson Memorial Middle, which outperforms the district and state on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, with 60.61% proficiency compared to 16.83% for the district and 44.73% for Texas. This could indicate a strength in math instruction at the middle school level. Despite the lower academic performance, the schools in the Silsbee ISD appear to have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning.
