Summary:
Zip code 75556 is served by a single school, Bloomburg School, which is part of the Bloomburg Independent School District (Isd) and serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade in a rural setting.
Bloomburg School is a small, tight-knit campus with 229 students and an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 to 1, allowing for significant personalized attention. The school achieves a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, a remarkable feat given that over 77% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch. However, academic performance presents a clear split between grade levels. The high school consistently outperforms state averages on End-of-Course exams, particularly in Algebra I, Biology, and English II Reading. In contrast, elementary and middle school grades struggle significantly, with 4th Grade Reading (16.67% proficient) and 8th Grade Social Studies (0% proficient) falling far below state averages. This suggests the school’s strengths in individualized instruction are most effective in the upper grades.
A key takeaway is the extreme year-to-year volatility in test scores, a common challenge for very small schools where a single cohort of students can dramatically shift percentages. For example, 4th Grade Reading proficiency dropped from 77.78% to 16.67% between school years. A persistent weakness is U.S. History, where proficiency rates hover around 38%, roughly half the state average. For parents, this school offers a supportive environment with strong high school outcomes and a focus on graduating every student, but it also shows clear areas for improvement in its lower and middle school grades, particularly in math and social studies.
