Best Public Schools in Zip Code 79520


Summary:

The 79520 zip code area is home to two schools, Hamlin Collegiate Elementary and Hamlin Collegiate High School, both part of the Hamlin Collegiate Independent School District (ISD). While the high school has a commendable 97% graduation rate, both schools are performing significantly below state averages on standardized tests, indicating a need for improvement in academic achievement.

The elementary school has a relatively small enrollment of 232 students and a diverse student population, with 43.97% White and 43.53% Hispanic students. However, the school struggles with low proficiency rates on STAAR tests, with scores well below the state averages in reading, math, and science. Additionally, a high percentage of students (77.59%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively low-income student population that may contribute to the academic challenges.

The high school, with 186 students, has a similar racial demographic to the elementary school, with 50% White and 41.94% Hispanic students. While the school boasts a low dropout rate of 0%, its STAAR test proficiency rates, especially in mathematics and social studies, are also well below state averages. Interestingly, the high school spends significantly more per student ($16,714) compared to the elementary school ($12,467), but this higher spending has not translated into improved academic outcomes.
