Summary:
The nine schools in zip code 75062, serving grades PK-12, are primarily part of the Irving Independent School District (Isd) and are located in a high-poverty area of Irving, Texas, with an average of 83% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.
The standout performer in this area is Universal Academy, a charter school that ranks in the top 24% of Texas districts and boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate, a stark contrast to the Irving ISD schools which rank in the bottom 12%. Within the Irving ISD, Travis Middle is a paradox: its general grade-level math scores are very low (e.g., 7th Grade Math at 7.27%), yet its advanced students taking high school End-of-Course exams achieve proficiency rates above 94% in Algebra I, Biology, and English I. Meanwhile, Brandenburg Elementary is a bright spot, showing consistent improvement from a 2-star to a 3-star rating and now outperforming the district and often meeting state averages in math and reading, despite its 81% economically disadvantaged population.
Key metrics reveal a challenging environment: MacArthur High School has a solid 94% graduation rate, but a 1.1% dropout rate. A critical finding is the significant achievement gap at Travis Middle, where resources appear heavily concentrated in advanced tracks. Additionally, across all elementary schools like Lee Elementary, students taking the STAAR test in Spanish consistently score far below their peers, with some schools showing 0% proficiency in 4th Grade Math, highlighting a critical need for enhanced bilingual support. For families, Universal Academy offers the strongest overall outcomes, while Brandenburg Elementary is the most promising elementary option within the Irving ISD.
