Best Public Schools in Zip Code 75926

The two public schools in zip code 75926, serving the Apple Springs area, are both part of the Apple Springs Independent School District (Isd), a small district ranked in the bottom 12% of Texas districts. Apple Springs High School (grades 7-12, 96 students) and Apple Springs Elementary (grades PK-6, 83 students) serve a combined 179 students, offering low student-teacher ratios of about 10.5:1 and high per-pupil spending, but face significant academic challenges.

Apple Springs High School stands out as the district's stronger performer, with a perfect 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate. Its state ranking has improved for three consecutive years, and it excels in science, with 75% of students proficient in Biology (above the state average of 70.51%). In contrast, Apple Springs Elementary faces greater economic challenges, with 75.9% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch compared to 45.83% at the high school. The elementary school's academic performance is highly volatile due to small class sizes, though it also shows science strength, such as 90% proficiency in 5th-grade Science in 2024-2025, nearly double the state average.

Mathematics is a persistent weakness across both schools, with all recent math scores falling below state averages—for example, 7th-grade Math at the high school was just 7.14% proficient versus the state's 29.41%. Science remains a clear strength district-wide, with both schools outperforming state averages in multiple grade levels. While the elementary school's ranking fluctuates, the high school's upward trajectory and strong graduation metrics suggest it is effectively preparing students for success, despite the district's overall low ranking. The small school environment allows for individualized attention, but the data underscores the need for targeted math interventions.
