Summary

Zephyr School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the Zephyr Independent School District, with 217 students, making it the largest school in the analysis. The school has a strong focus on student success, as evidenced by its high graduation rates (100% in 2022-2023) and low dropout rates (0% in the past 3 years).

Zephyr School's students generally perform better than the state average on STAAR assessments, particularly in reading. For example, in 2024-2025, the school is projected to have 66.67% of 3rd graders proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 52.02%. The school also excels in English I and II reading, with projected proficiency rates of 81.25% and 78.95% respectively, well above the state. However, the school's mathematics proficiency rates lag behind its reading performance and the state average, particularly in the upper grades. Zephyr School also has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 56.22% to 61.23% over the past 3 years, suggesting the school serves a population with greater economic challenges.

While Zephyr School outperforms the state on many metrics, it is not always the top performer among the nearby schools analyzed. For example, Sidney School has a higher 4-year graduation rate (100% vs. 87.5% in 2021-2022) and Priddy School has a lower dropout rate (1.6% vs. 0% in 2022-2023). Additionally, the nearby schools show significant variation in per-student spending, with Mullin Main spending over $25,000 per student in 2020-2021, compared to Zephyr School's $11,592, which may contribute to differences in academic outcomes.
