Summary:
The 76657 zip code in McGregor, Texas, is served by five schools across two distinct districts: Midway Independent School District (Isd) and McGregor Independent School District (Isd), covering elementary through high school grades.
The standout school in the area is River Valley Middle (Midway ISD), which earns a 5-star rating and ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide. It has the lowest economic disadvantage rate at 28.16% and exceptional advanced coursework performance, with 96.2% proficiency in Algebra I. In contrast, the four schools in McGregor ISD face significant challenges. McGregor Elementary ranks in the 10th percentile, with only 10.28% of 5th graders proficient in Science versus the state average of 29.57%. McGregor Pri (PK-1) has no test scores but a 59.63% free/reduced lunch rate. Isbill J H shows strong Algebra I proficiency (89.47%) among its advanced students, while McGregor High School is a positive trendsetter, improving from the 64th to 71st percentile and achieving a 100% graduation rate.
Key takeaways include a stark "two-zip code" reality where River Valley Middle's high performance contrasts sharply with McGregor ISD's struggles. The Algebra I data reveals a "middle school effect": only top students take the exam early, inflating middle school scores and deflating high school scores. McGregor High School stands as a beacon of hope with rising test scores above state averages in Biology, English I, and U.S. History. However, the elementary foundation is the weakest link, with McGregor Elementary's poor performance creating an uphill battle for later grades. Student-teacher ratios are favorable across all schools, ranging from 9.9 to 15.
