Summary:
The three schools in zip code 75167 (Waxahachie, TX) serve students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade, offering a diverse educational landscape that includes a large public high school, a high-performing public elementary, and a charter elementary facing significant challenges.
Wilemon Steam Academy is the standout performer, earning a 4-star rating and consistently exceeding state averages in Reading and Math, all while serving a relatively low-poverty population (22.2% free/reduced lunch). In stark contrast, Faith Family Master Academy (part of the Faith Family Academy district) is a 0-star school with critically low test scores, such as only 9.52% proficiency in 3rd Grade Math, and serves a high-poverty population (99.73% free/reduced lunch). Waxahachie High School (part of the Waxahachie Independent School District (Isd)) sits in the middle, with a strong 95.6% graduation rate but academic proficiency that generally falls below state averages, particularly in Algebra I (27.88% proficient vs. 54.03% statewide).
A key takeaway is that higher spending does not guarantee better results: Faith Family Master Academy spends the most per student ($12,950) yet has the lowest performance, while Wilemon Steam Academy spends the least ($10,123) and achieves the highest scores. Despite its low overall standing, Faith Family Master Academy showed notable year-over-year improvement in several math grades from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, a positive trend worth monitoring. For parents, this zip code presents a clear choice between a high-performing, low-poverty elementary and a struggling, high-poverty charter, with the high school serving as a middle-of-the-pack option for older students.
