Summary:
The 78617 zip code area in Texas is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high levels of economic disadvantage as indicated by the large percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools, Popham Elementary appears to outperform the other elementary school, Del Valle Elementary, on several metrics, including higher proficiency rates on standardized tests and a slightly lower percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. In contrast, the Del Valle Opportunity Center, an alternative high school, struggles with the lowest performance across the board, including very low proficiency rates, a much lower 4-year graduation rate, and a higher dropout rate.
Overall, the schools in this zip code area face significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance compared to district and state averages. The high levels of poverty and economic disadvantage among the student population likely contribute to these challenges, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support student success in the Del Valle Independent School District (Isd).
