While the schools in the 79201 zip code generally demonstrate strong academic performance, there are a few areas that could be targeted for improvement. For instance, 8th grade STAAR Social Studies scores at Childress J H are below the state average, and 4th grade STAAR Mathematics scores at Childress Elementary could be strengthened. Additionally, the high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at Childress Elementary suggests the need to consider socioeconomic factors when analyzing the school's performance and identifying potential areas for support.
