Best Public Schools in Zip Code 78231

Summary:

The 78231 zip code area in Texas is home to two exceptional elementary schools: Blattman Elementary and Oak Meadow Elementary. Blattman Elementary stands out as a top-performing school, ranked in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools by SchoolDigger and consistently achieving high academic outcomes on STAAR tests. In contrast, while Oak Meadow Elementary also performs above district and state averages, it does not reach the same level of excellence as Blattman.

Blattman Elementary's exceptional performance is evident in its students' significantly higher proficiency rates on STAAR tests compared to district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 81.94% of Blattman's 5th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to just 54.03% for the district and 53.96% for the state. Additionally, Blattman spends less per student ($9,714) than Oak Meadow ($12,347), yet achieves significantly better academic results, indicating the school's efficient use of resources.

The data suggests that the socioeconomic differences between the two schools may contribute to their performance gap. Blattman has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (13.94%) compared to Oak Meadow (35.34%), indicating a more affluent student population at Blattman. Both schools are part of different school districts, Northside Independent School District and North East Independent School District, which are ranked 496th and 421st out of 968 districts in Texas, respectively, suggesting that district-level factors may also play a role in the schools' performance.
