Summary:
The 76661 zip code area in Texas is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school), and no middle schools. The data reveals significant academic challenges across these schools, with students performing well below state averages on standardized tests.
Among the schools, Marlin Elementary and Marlin High show some positive metrics, such as Marlin High's 100% 4-year graduation rate and low 0.5% dropout rate. However, the alternative Marlin Opportunity Center stands out as the lowest performing school, ranking 1974 out of 1974 Texas high schools and having a 0% proficiency rate on the STAAR EOC English II Reading exam.
Across the schools, there are high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.71% to 100%, indicating significant economic disadvantage in the student populations. Despite relatively high spending per student and student-teacher ratios, the schools continue to struggle academically, suggesting the need for the Marlin Independent School District (Isd) to re-evaluate resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to support student learning and success.
