Summary:
The 79339 zip code in Texas is home to 4 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Littlefield Independent School District (ISD). While the schools share some common challenges, a few stand out in both positive and negative ways.
Littlefield High School has a strong 4-year graduation rate of 94.8%, but its academic performance on STAAR tests is below the state average. In contrast, Littlefield Elementary struggles with overall academic performance, despite its 5th-grade reading proficiency rate exceeding the state average. This disparity suggests that the district faces systemic challenges in ensuring consistent academic success across grade levels.
Economically, the schools in the 79339 zip code serve a predominantly disadvantaged student population, with free/reduced-price lunch recipients ranging from 62.91% at Littlefield High School to an alarming 80.99% at Littlefield Elementary. This high level of economic disadvantage may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by the schools. However, the district's diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment and notable representation of White and African American students, presents both opportunities and challenges in meeting the unique needs of different student groups.
