Summary:
The 78934 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative high school). The schools in this area serve a diverse student population, with varying levels of academic performance and socioeconomic challenges.
Among the standout schools, Columbus High School stands out with its strong statewide ranking, high graduation rate, and above-average performance on STAAR end-of-course exams. In contrast, Columbus Crossing High School, the alternative high school, has a very small enrollment but maintains a 100% graduation rate, despite its low statewide ranking. The middle school, Columbus J H, struggles the most, consistently underperforming compared to district and state averages on STAAR assessments.
Across the schools, a significant percentage of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the overall lower academic performance observed in the data, highlighting the need for targeted support and resources to address the challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students. The Columbus Independent School District (Isd) will need to focus on addressing these disparities and ensuring that all students in the 78934 zip code area have access to a high-quality education.
