Summary:
The 78065 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Poteet Independent School District (Isd), including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools serve a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population, they consistently underperform compared to state averages on academic measures.
Poteet High School has a decent 4-year graduation rate of 86.6% and a low dropout rate of 3.6%, but its students struggle on STAAR EOC exams, with only 16.25% proficient or better in Algebra I and 40.17% in Biology. The middle school, Poteet J H, and the elementary school, Poteet Intermediate, also significantly underperform on STAAR tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 1.41% to 60% across different grade levels and subjects.
The data suggests a systemic issue within the Poteet Independent School District, as all four schools in the 78065 zip code area struggle academically. This may be due to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and potential resource allocation challenges, as indicated by the relatively high student-teacher ratios and varying per-student spending levels across the schools. Targeted interventions and a comprehensive review of the district's practices may be necessary to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
