Summary:

The 13 schools in zip code 76901 (San Angelo, TX) serve students from Pre-K through 12th grade across five districts, including the large San Angelo Independent School District (Isd) and the smaller Grape Creek Independent School District (Isd), and offer a wide range of academic outcomes.

Santa Rita Elementary is the top-performing school in the area, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide with reading and math proficiency rates far above state averages, and it serves a student population with the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (35.85%). In contrast, Fannin Elementary and Bowie Elementary face significant challenges, ranking in the 12th and 8th percentiles respectively, with high poverty rates. Among high schools, Grape Creek High School stands out as the highest-performing traditional option, achieving a 100% graduation rate and competitive test scores despite a 67.66% free/reduced lunch rate. The alternative Texas Leadership Of San Angelo also excels with a 98.8% graduation rate and strong test scores, while Premier H S - San Angelo and Texasworks - San Angelo are the lowest-performing high schools, with critically low proficiency rates.

A key takeaway is the strong link between poverty and performance, as the highest-achieving schools have the lowest poverty rates. However, Grape Creek Independent School District (Isd) demonstrates that effective leadership can overcome this, as its high school outperforms expectations. An interesting anomaly is Lone Star Middle, which reports a 96-97% proficiency rate in Algebra I, likely due to only advanced students taking the exam. Overall, parents should carefully compare schools, as performance varies dramatically even within the same district.
