Summary:
The 78652 zip code in Texas is home to a single elementary school, Menchaca Elementary, which serves students from the Austin Independent School District (Isd). While Menchaca Elementary has a diverse student population, it faces some academic challenges compared to district and state averages.
Menchaca Elementary's student body is relatively diverse, with 61.35% Hispanic, 26.25% White, and smaller percentages of African American, Asian, Native American, and Pacific Islander students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is consistently below the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 43.01%, compared to 55.65% for the district and 48.85% for the state.
Despite these academic challenges, Menchaca Elementary's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are in line with district and state averages. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic needs, with 47.36% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population.
