Summary:
The 79744 zip code area is home to three schools - Iraan Elementary, Iraan High School, and Iraan J H (middle school) - all part of the Iraan-Sheffield Collegiate Independent School District (Isd). While Iraan High School stands out with its high graduation rate and strong performance on STAAR exams, the other two schools in the area struggle to meet state academic standards, particularly in reading, math, and science.
Iraan Elementary has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of Hispanic students (68.35%) and a large proportion of students (63.29%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school consistently underperforms the district and state averages on STAAR tests, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support. In contrast, Iraan High School outperforms the district and state on most STAAR end-of-course exams, with the exception of Algebra I and U.S. History.
The differences in funding and resources across the schools are also noteworthy. Iraan High School has the highest spending per student ($27,614) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (8.3), while Iraan Elementary and Iraan J H have lower spending per student ($14,069 and $12,991, respectively) and higher student-teacher ratios (13.2 and 10.9, respectively). These variations in resource allocation may contribute to the disparities in academic performance observed across the schools in the 79744 zip code area.
