Summary:
The 79035 zip code area is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area face some academic challenges, Friona High School stands out with a relatively high graduation rate and strong performance on certain state assessments compared to the district and state averages.
Across the schools, there is a predominately Hispanic student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage. The schools generally underperform on state standardized tests, particularly in Mathematics and Science, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support. However, Friona J H (Middle School) outperforms the district and state on STAAR Reading assessments, while struggling with Mathematics proficiency.
The variation in per-student spending across the schools, from $10,403 at Friona Elementary to $16,231 at Friona High School, may indicate an imbalance in resource allocation that could impact the quality of education and support available to students. Addressing the academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by these schools within the Friona Independent School District (Isd) will require a comprehensive approach to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
