Summary:
In zip code 76360, there is one high school, Electra Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7 through 12 with a total enrollment of 209 students in the Electra Independent School District (Isd), an area with a high level of economic disadvantage where 59.33% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch.
Electra Junior/Senior High School shows a mixed academic profile. It consistently outperforms the state average in Algebra I, with 57.14% of students proficient compared to 54.03% statewide in the most recent year, but it struggles in most other subjects, particularly in 7th grade where only 12.5% of students were proficient in Reading and 6.06% in Math. The school's state ranking has been volatile, moving from the 40th percentile to the 54th percentile and back to the 47th percentile over three years, and its graduation rate of 87.5% is below the state average. A notable advantage is the very low student-teacher ratio of 9.6:1, which is much better than the state average and should allow for more individualized attention.
Despite spending $16,752 per student—well above the Texas average—the school's overall academic performance remains below state averages in most areas, raising questions about resource allocation. The most striking finding is the dramatic improvement from 7th to 8th grade, with math proficiency jumping from 6.06% to 39.53% and reading from 12.5% to 40%, suggesting either a strong intervention program or a uniquely struggling 7th-grade cohort. The school's inconsistent year-over-year performance, including a drop in 7th grade reading from 44.44% to 12.5%, indicates a lack of stable academic programming, likely influenced by small class sizes where individual cohorts can significantly sway results.
