Summary:
The 77502 zip code area in Pasadena, Texas is home to 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Pasadena Independent School District (Isd). While the district is ranked 565 out of 961 school districts in Texas and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few standout schools in the area have demonstrated strong academic performance.
Sparks Elementary and South Shaver Elementary have consistently ranked in the top 1,201 and 1,398 out of 4,651 and 4,675 Texas elementary schools, respectively, and have received 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools have shown high proficiency in reading and mathematics, often outperforming the district and state averages. In contrast, L F Smith Elementary has shown steady improvement, moving from a 2-star rating to a 3-star rating in recent years.
The data also reveals that the schools in the 77502 zip code serve a predominantly low-income population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.05% at Sam Rayburn High School to 94.17% at Southmore Intermediate. This socioeconomic challenge may contribute to the variation in academic performance observed across the schools, with the high school and middle schools generally underperforming compared to the stronger-performing elementary schools.
