Summary:
The 77979 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. Overall, the schools in this area serve a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
The standout schools in the area are the two elementary schools, Jackson/Roosevelt Elementary and Harrison/Jefferson/Madison Elementary, which rank in the top 30% of Texas elementary schools and have relatively high proficiency rates in reading and math compared to the Calhoun County Independent School District (Isd) and state averages. In contrast, the middle school, Travis Middle, and one of the high schools, Calhoun High School, tend to lag behind in test scores.
The other high school in the area, Hope High School, stands out with a 100% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than Calhoun High School's 91.7% rate. However, Hope High School's test scores, particularly in English II and U.S. History, are significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 3.4 suggest a high level of individual attention for students, which may contribute to its impressive graduation rate.
