Summary:
The 76055 zip code area in Texas is home to three public schools - Itasca Elementary, Itasca High School, and Itasca Middle School - all of which are part of the Itasca Independent School District (Isd). Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are struggling academically, with consistently low test scores, poor rankings, and high poverty levels among the student populations.
Across all three schools, proficiency rates on STAAR tests are well below the state average, with Itasca Elementary and Itasca Middle School performing particularly poorly. The schools also have low rankings, with Itasca Elementary and Itasca High School in the bottom half of Texas schools, and Itasca Middle School in the bottom 10%. Graduation and dropout rates at Itasca High School are also concerning, with a graduation rate below the state average and a dropout rate higher than the state average.
The high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.19% at Itasca High School to 75.62% at Itasca Elementary, suggest that these schools serve a predominantly disadvantaged student population. Additionally, the relatively low spending per student, from $10,650 at Itasca Elementary to $15,471 at Itasca High School, raises concerns about the resources available to support student learning. Overall, the data paints a troubling picture of the educational landscape in the 76055 zip code area, and significant improvements are needed to ensure that all students in this community have access to a high-quality education.
