Summary:
The 75604 zip code in Longview, Texas, is home to eight schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, with the vast majority operating under the Pine Tree Independent School District (Isd), a district that ranks in the top 25% of Texas school districts.
Within the Pine Tree district, Birch Elementary stands out as the academic leader, consistently ranking in the top 15-20% of Texas elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating, with test scores significantly above district and state averages. In contrast, Parkway Elementary, which serves a similar student population, ranks lower at the 71st percentile. At the secondary level, Pine Tree J H excels in advanced math, with a remarkable 96.7% proficiency rate in Algebra I, far exceeding the state average. Pine Tree High School demonstrates a strong commitment to student retention, boasting a 97.7% graduation rate and a dropout rate of just 0.1%. The two charter high schools, Premier H S - Longview and Texasworks - Longview, serve a very small, niche student body and show significant academic challenges, with Premier H.S. ranking in the bottom 2% of Texas high schools.
A key takeaway is the Pine Tree district's strong performance in keeping students on track, with zero dropouts at the middle school level and a high graduation rate at the high school. However, a consistent area for improvement across the district is Social Studies, with 8th-grade proficiency at Pine Tree J.H. (24.44%) and U.S. History scores at the high school (58.42%) both lagging behind state averages. While the district excels at accelerating top math students, general math scores in grades 5-8 often fall below state averages, suggesting a focus on raising the floor for all students could be beneficial.
