Summary:
The 79102 zip code area in Amarillo, Texas is home to 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Bivins Elementary and Sanborn Elementary) and 1 high school (Tascosa High School). While Tascosa High School has shown consistent academic performance, the elementary schools in this area face challenges, particularly Sanborn Elementary, which serves a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population.
Tascosa High School stands out with its large student population, commendable 4-year graduation rate, and mixed performance on STAAR end-of-course exams. In contrast, Bivins Elementary and Sanborn Elementary generally perform below the district and state averages on STAAR assessments, particularly in mathematics and science. Sanborn Elementary's Spanish-language STAAR assessments show particularly low proficiency rates, indicating potential language barriers for its predominantly Hispanic student population.
The data also reveals significant socioeconomic and racial disparities among the schools. Sanborn Elementary has the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the lowest student-teacher ratio, while Tascosa High School has a more diverse racial makeup. These disparities suggest the need for targeted interventions and equitable resource allocation to address the academic challenges faced by the schools in the 79102 zip code area, particularly the elementary schools.
