Best Public Schools in Zip Code 78371

Summary:

The 78371 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Oilton Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Webb Consolidated Independent School District. With a total enrollment of 108 students, Oilton Elementary has a predominantly Hispanic student population (96.3%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (73.15%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Oilton Elementary's academic performance has been a concern, with its statewide ranking fluctuating in recent years. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 3,841 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating. While the school's ranking improved to 3 stars in the 2022-2023 school year, it dropped back down to 0 stars in the 2021-2022 school year. The school's STAAR test scores in reading, math, and science are generally below the state average, with only 21.05% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in reading and 35.71% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in math.

Despite the school's challenges, Oilton Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's spending per student for the 2020-2021 school year was $19,208, which is higher than the state average. However, these advantages do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its economically disadvantaged student population and improve overall student success.
