Summary:
The 78377 zip code area is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school: Refugio Elementary, Refugio High School, and Refugio J H (middle school). These schools, part of the Refugio Independent School District (Isd), serve a predominantly Hispanic student population with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility.
Among the standout schools, Refugio High School stands out with a strong 93.5% 4-year graduation rate and a low 0.9% dropout rate. The school also performs well on some STAAR EOC exams, such as Biology (57.45% proficient) and U.S. History (64.06% proficient). In contrast, Refugio J H impresses with a 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I STAAR EOC exam and relatively high reading proficiency rates for 7th and 8th-grade students compared to the district and state.
While the schools face challenges, such as below-average performance on some STAAR/STAAR EOC exams and high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the data suggests opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes. The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools may also be contributing factors to their performance, and further analysis could explore these relationships.
