Summary:
The 75125 zip code area in Texas is home to 5 schools that are part of the Ferris Independent School District (ISD), including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district serves a predominantly low-income student population, the schools exhibit varying levels of academic performance and resource allocation.
Ferris High School stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate of 94.9% and a low dropout rate of 0.4%, but its academic performance on STAAR tests is below the state average. In contrast, Lucy Mae McDonald Elementary and Hazel Ingram Elementary serve the highest-need student populations, with over 80% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and their STAAR test scores are generally lower than the state average.
The schools in the Ferris ISD also exhibit significant variation in terms of spending per student, ranging from $10,655 to $14,244 per student, which could contribute to the observed differences in academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that the Ferris ISD faces significant challenges in addressing the socioeconomic needs of its student population and improving academic outcomes across all of its schools.
