Summary:
The 78956 zip code is home to two schools: Schulenburg Secondary and Schulenburg Elementary, both part of the Schulenburg Independent School District (Isd). While Schulenburg Secondary is a relatively strong performer, with a high graduation rate and above-average STAAR test scores, Schulenburg Elementary faces challenges in meeting state academic standards, particularly in higher grade levels.
Schulenburg Secondary stands out for its 96.6% four-year graduation rate and low 0.5% dropout rate. The school also performs above the state average in several STAAR end-of-course exams, including Biology, English I Reading, and U.S. History. In contrast, Schulenburg Elementary outperforms the state average in 3rd-grade reading and mathematics but struggles in higher grade levels, suggesting potential differences in the quality of education or resources between the two schools.
Both schools serve diverse student populations, with significant percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that they serve communities with lower socioeconomic status. This factor may contribute to the academic performance disparities observed between the two schools. Additionally, Schulenburg Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, warranting further investigation and intervention to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for all students in the area.
