Summary:
The 75571 zip code in Omaha, Texas, is served by three public schools within the Pewitt Consolidated Independent School District, which together educate 853 students from elementary through high school and hold a 3-star state rating.
Pewitt Elementary stands out as the district's strongest performer, with a state ranking in the 69th percentile and Reading scores that far exceed state averages—for example, 76.92% of 4th graders were proficient compared to 53.04% statewide. The school has shown a positive ranking trend over three years and also excels in 5th-grade Science. In contrast, Pewitt J H is on a declining trajectory, dropping from the 74th to the 53rd percentile, with a particularly sharp drop in 7th-grade Math where only 22.5% of students were proficient. Pewitt High School boasts a 94.9% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, and it performs well in Biology (75.76% proficient) and U.S. History (75.93% proficient), but its Algebra I End-of-Course exam score of 26.83% is alarmingly low.
A key takeaway is that Math proficiency is a systemic weakness across all three schools, with every elementary and middle school math score falling below state averages. While Pewitt Elementary is rising, Pewitt J H is declining, suggesting a transition challenge. The high school spends the most per student ($14,169) but ranks lower than the elementary school, indicating that resource allocation may not be addressing foundational math needs. The Algebra I bottleneck—where advanced 8th graders score 40% proficient but high school students average just 26.83%—underscores the need for stronger math preparation in middle school.
