Summary:
The 77590 zip code area is home to two middle schools - Blocker Middle and Fry Intermediate, both part of the Texas City Independent School District (ISD). While both schools face academic challenges, the data suggests that Blocker Middle is the stronger performer of the two, with higher proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the district and state averages.
Blocker Middle has a higher state-wide school ranking and has seen its ranking improve over the past few years. The school also has higher proficiency rates than the Texas City ISD and the state of Texas in most STAAR test subjects and grade levels. In contrast, Fry Intermediate has lower proficiency rates than the district and state in most subject areas, suggesting that the academic challenges may start earlier in the middle school years for students in this area.
While Fry Intermediate spends more per student than Blocker Middle, this higher spending does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes. The data indicates that the Texas City ISD as a whole is underperforming compared to the state averages, highlighting the need for the district to examine its curriculum, instructional practices, and resource allocation to better support student achievement across all its schools.
