Summary:
The 78244 zip code area in Texas is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Judson Independent School District (ISD). While the district is ranked 786 out of 968 in Texas and has a 1-star rating, a few schools in the area stand out.
Henry Metzger Middle and Woodlake Hills Middle have relatively higher proficiency rates in subjects like Algebra I and Biology compared to the district and state averages. However, Henry Metzger Middle ranks 2052 out of 2330 Texas middle schools and has a 1-star rating. In contrast, San Antonio Preparatory, the only charter school in the area, has a different student demographic and spending profile, with mixed test score performance.
Overall, the schools in the 78244 zip code area face significant challenges, with most performing well below the district and state averages on standardized tests. The high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggest these schools serve communities with socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the academic performance issues. Identifying and replicating the practices of the stronger-performing middle schools could be a starting point for improvement efforts in the area.
