Summary:

Zip code 75491, serving the Whitewright, Texas area, is home to four schools—Whitewright Elementary, Whitewright High School, Whitewright Middle, and Quest Collegiate Academy-Whitewright—serving approximately 906 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, with a moderate economic disadvantage rate of about 45% free/reduced lunch.

The standout performer in this area is Whitewright Middle, which has earned a 4-star rating for three consecutive years and ranks in the 80th percentile or higher. Its math program is exceptional, with 100% of 8th graders scoring proficient on the Algebra I EOC exam—nearly double the state average. Whitewright High School is a rising star, jumping to a 4-star rating in 2025-2026 with strong EOC scores in English I (80%), English II (74.42%), and Biology (78.18%), all above state averages. It also boasts a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.3:1, a 96.4% graduation rate, and a 0.4% dropout rate. In contrast, Quest Collegiate Academy-Whitewright, a charter school under Texas College Preparatory Academies, is struggling significantly, dropping from a 3-star to a 1-star rating with test scores consistently below district and state averages.

The Whitewright Independent School District (Isd) ranks in the 81st percentile statewide (4 stars), and its schools show a clear "value-add" effect: despite modest elementary math scores (26.67% in 3rd grade vs. state 44.33%), the high school produces excellent results, suggesting effective acceleration of learning. Social studies is a district-wide strength, with middle school 8th-grade scores (59.7%) nearly double the state average (31.69%). The charter school's high student-teacher ratio of 17.1:1 and declining performance highlight a significant gap compared to the traditional public schools, making the ISD schools the clear choice for families seeking consistent, high-quality education in this zip code.
