Summary:
The 78629 zip code area is home to 6 schools spanning elementary, middle, high, and alternative education, spread across two school districts - Liberty Hill Independent School District (ISD) and Gonzales Independent School District (ISD). While the schools vary in performance, Rancho Sienna Elementary stands out as a consistent academic leader, with high proficiency rates on state assessments and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
In contrast, the schools in the Gonzales ISD, including Gonzales High School and Gonzales J.H., struggle to meet state standards, with lower proficiency rates and concerning dropout rates. These disparities may be linked to the higher rates of economically disadvantaged students in the Gonzales ISD, as evidenced by the 68-76% free/reduced lunch eligibility, compared to just 9.6% at Rancho Sienna Elementary.
The data also reveals concerning performance at the Legacy Ranch Inspire Academy, an alternative public charter school, which has alarmingly low proficiency rates on state assessments. This suggests the need for further investigation into the resources and support provided to struggling schools and students within the Inspire Academies district.
