Best Public Schools in Zip Code 78363

Summary:

The 78363 zip code area is home to 10 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades, spread across two different school districts - Kingsville Independent School District (ISD) and Santa Gertrudis Independent School District (ISD). While the data reveals stark differences in academic performance between the two districts, a few standout schools emerge, including Santa Gertrudis School, Ricardo Elementary, and Ricardo Middle.

The Santa Gertrudis ISD schools, including Santa Gertrudis Academy High School, consistently outperform the Kingsville ISD schools on STAAR tests, with proficiency rates often double or triple the Kingsville averages. These high-performing schools are ranked in the top 20% of Texas schools, with strong graduation rates and low dropout rates. In contrast, several Kingsville ISD schools, such as Harvey Elementary and Harrel Elementary, struggle academically, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

The data also highlights the unique characteristics of Jubilee Kingsville, an alternative public charter school that serves a high-needs population with a 0% dropout rate, despite lower test scores compared to the district averages. Overall, the analysis of schools in the 78363 zip code area reveals the significant impact of district-level factors, such as funding and resource allocation, on the academic performance of individual schools.
