Best Public Schools in Zip Code 79356

The 79356 zip code area is home to 3 schools - Post Elementary, Post High School, and Post Middle - all of which are performing below state averages on key metrics like test scores and school rankings.

The schools in this area consistently underperform the state average on STAAR/EOC assessments, with proficiency rates as low as 15.91% in 3rd grade reading at Post Elementary. All three schools have low statewide rankings, with Post High School dropping from a 3-star to a 1-star rating in recent years. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population with high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, factors often associated with lower academic performance.

While the schools in the Post Independent School District spend a reasonable amount per student, the relatively high student-teacher ratios suggest that resources may not be optimally allocated. The consistent underperformance across all three schools points to systemic issues that need to be addressed to drive meaningful improvements in student achievement.
