Summary:
The 79364 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Slaton Independent School District (ISD) except for the Southland School, which is part of the Southland Independent School District.
Among the standout schools, Slaton High School boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 98.0% and a low dropout rate of 0.5%, while also performing relatively well on STAAR EOC exams. The Southland School, an alternative school, has an impressive 100% 4-year graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate, along with strong performance on STAAR reading and math exams.
However, the overall academic performance across the elementary and middle schools in the area is a concern, with proficiency rates often below 50% in reading and math on STAAR/STAAR EOC exams. This, coupled with the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (ranging from 68.25% to 76.08%), suggests that the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student learning and achievement. While the schools have relatively high spending per student and favorable student-teacher ratios, more targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve academic outcomes for all students in the 79364 zip code area.
