Summary:
The 79545 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Roscoe Collegiate Independent School District (ISD) and the Highland Independent School District (ISD). While the schools in this area display a range of academic performance, two standout institutions are Highland School, an alternative school with exceptional proficiency rates and graduation outcomes, and Roscoe Collegiate High School, a public charter high school that also performs well academically.
The data reveals a significant divide in academic achievement between the schools. While Highland School and Roscoe Collegiate High School demonstrate strong performance, with proficiency rates exceeding 50% and even 70-80% in certain subjects and grade levels, Lone Star Online Academy struggles significantly, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages. This contrast highlights the importance of considering school type and governance structure when evaluating academic outcomes.
The data also suggests a relationship between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by free and reduced-price lunch rates, tending to have lower proficiency rates. However, the exceptional performance of Highland School, an alternative school, suggests that a school's unique approach or targeted support may be a key factor in student success, regardless of socioeconomic factors.
