Summary:
The 78748 zip code area of Austin, Texas is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Austin Independent School District (AISD). The data reveals stark differences in academic performance, with some schools like Baranoff Elementary and Cowan Elementary consistently ranking among the top in the state, while others like Paredes Middle struggle with low test scores.
The schools in this area serve a diverse student population, with Hispanic students making up the largest racial group. However, there appears to be a correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Kocurek Elementary and Williams Elementary, tend to have lower test scores. Interestingly, Akins High School maintains a strong 92% 4-year graduation rate despite its lower state ranking.
The data also reveals significant variation in per-student spending, ranging from $9,751 at Baranoff Elementary to $12,842 at Williams Elementary. This disparity in resources may contribute to the observed differences in academic performance across the schools in the 78748 zip code area.
