Summary:
The 78014 zip code area is home to three schools: Ramirez-Burks Elementary, Cotulla High School, and Frank Newman Middle. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged community.
Among the standout schools, Frank Newman Middle stands out with an impressive 95.35% proficiency rate on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Cotulla High School also performs well, maintaining a high 95.5% four-year graduation rate and above-average proficiency rates on the English I and English II reading end-of-course exams. However, overall academic performance across the schools, as measured by STAAR/STAAR EOC exams, is generally lower than the state averages, particularly in reading and mathematics.
The Cotulla Independent School District, which encompasses all three schools, is ranked 787 out of 968 districts in Texas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting systemic challenges that may be impacting the performance of individual schools within the district. Addressing equity and access to resources for the predominantly economically disadvantaged student population may be crucial in improving overall academic outcomes in this area.
