Summary:
The 78013 zip code area in Texas is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school: Comfort Elementary, Comfort High School, and Comfort Middle School. These schools, part of the Comfort Independent School District (Isd), serve a predominantly Hispanic student population with high rates of economic disadvantage.
Among the standout schools, Comfort High School shines with a 98.8% 4-year graduation rate and low 0.3% dropout rate. It also outperforms the district and state averages on several STAAR EOC exams. Comfort Middle School is another bright spot, exceeding district and state averages on 8th grade STAAR Reading and Science exams, and having a high percentage of students proficient in Algebra I.
However, the data reveals significant academic disparities, particularly at the elementary level, where Comfort Elementary struggles with proficiency rates well below state averages. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students across the district may be contributing to these performance gaps, highlighting the need to address socioeconomic factors in education. While the secondary schools have higher per-student spending, the overall low performance suggests a need for a more balanced approach to resource allocation to drive meaningful improvements in student outcomes.
