Best Public Schools in Zip Code 78146


Summary:

The 78146 zip code area is home to two schools - Pettus Secondary and Pettus Elementary, both part of the Pettus Independent School District (Isd). While Pettus Secondary stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate and strong performance on some STAAR exams, the schools in this area face challenges, including wide achievement gaps and low proficiency in key subjects like math and science.

Pettus Secondary has a 96.8% 4-year graduation rate, significantly above the state average, and outperforms the state on several STAAR end-of-course exams. However, the school's STAAR performance is mixed, with some subject areas exceeding state averages while others fall well below. In contrast, Pettus Elementary struggles with math proficiency, with only 20.59% of 3rd graders and 39.13% of 4th graders meeting standards.

Both schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 67% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the community faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact academic outcomes. Additionally, the schools have notable differences in funding and resources, with Pettus Secondary spending significantly more per student and having a lower student-teacher ratio than Pettus Elementary. These disparities likely contribute to the performance gap between the two schools.
