Summary:
Zip code 76078 (Rhome, TX) is home to three public schools within the Northwest Independent School District (Isd), serving students from Pre-K through 8th grade, with no high school located in the immediate area.
The standout school in this zip code is Chisholm Trail Middle, which boasts an exceptional Algebra I program where 90.22% of 8th graders were proficient—far exceeding district and state averages. However, this success does not extend to standard grade-level math, where the school consistently underperforms. Among the elementary schools, Seven Hills Elementary is the stronger performer, with 4th graders achieving 64.66% proficiency in Reading and 60% in Math, significantly outpacing Prairie View Elementary, which struggles with a 14th percentile state ranking and high economic disadvantage (61.39%). Prairie View’s 5th-grade Science proficiency was just 8.64%, highlighting a need for targeted support.
Key metrics show favorable student-teacher ratios across all schools, with Prairie View having the smallest classes at 12.6:1. Spending per student varies, with Chisholm Trail Middle receiving the most at $12,676. A notable finding is the stark contrast between the two elementary schools: Seven Hills outperforms Prairie View by over 30 percentage points in 4th-grade Math, a gap that suggests differences in school leadership or instructional quality beyond demographics. Additionally, Prairie View is the only school offering Spanish-language STAAR testing, with mixed results. Overall, while Chisholm Trail Middle excels in advanced math, the district faces a weakness in middle school math for the majority of students, and Prairie View Elementary requires significant intervention to improve outcomes.
