Summary:
The 77590 zip code area is home to two high schools - Texas City High School and Woodrow Wilson Daep. While Texas City High School serves a larger student population of 1,721, Woodrow Wilson Daep appears to be a specialized school focused on alternative or disciplinary education, serving grades 5-12 with a smaller enrollment of 117 students.
Both schools have similar 4-year graduation rates of around 80% and dropout rates of 3.8%. However, Texas City High School's performance on STAAR EOC tests lags behind the district and state averages, particularly in Algebra I, English I Reading, and U.S. History. In contrast, the school's Biology scores exceed the district average but still fall short of the state. Woodrow Wilson Daep, on the other hand, receives significantly higher per-student spending ($69,932 compared to $11,723 at Texas City High School) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (9.7 vs. 14.8).
The high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at both schools, over 70%, suggests the local community faces significant socioeconomic challenges. Additionally, the Texas City Independent School District is ranked 732 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating broader systemic issues that may be impacting the performance of individual schools in the area.
