Summary:
The 76664 zip code in Mart, Texas, contains three schools serving approximately 830 students across two very different districts: Mart Independent School District (Isd) and Lone Star School District.
Mart Elementary is the standout performer in the area, earning a 3-star rating and showing a consistent upward trend in its state ranking, moving from the 53rd to the 69th percentile. It excels in mathematics, outperforming the state average in every tested grade from 3rd to 6th. In contrast, Mart High School presents a mixed picture: it boasts a strong 93.9% graduation rate and a very low 0.4% dropout rate, but its state ranking has declined from the 57th to the 45th percentile. A critical weakness is math, with 7th-grade math showing 0% proficiency, though the school has bright spots in English II Reading and U.S. History. The third school, Lone Star H S Central (Tjjd), is a significant outlier, ranking in the 1st percentile statewide with critically low test scores, as it is a specialized alternative campus.
A key takeaway is the stark contrast between the two districts within the same zip code. Mart ISD is a functional, mid-tier district, while Lone Star H S Central serves a high-need population. Another interesting finding is the spending paradox at Mart High School, which spends over $5,000 more per student than Mart Elementary yet shows weaker academic performance. The elementary school serves as the district's anchor, and the challenge for Mart ISD is to ensure that its academic success carries through to the high school level.
