Summary:
The 10 public schools in zip code 77591 (Texas City, TX) serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, primarily under the Texas City Independent School District (Isd), with two schools belonging to the Dickinson Independent School District (Isd) and the Odyssey Academy Inc charter network.
The standout school in the area is Heights Elementary, which achieves a 5-star rating and ranks in the 96th percentile statewide despite having one of the highest poverty rates. In contrast, Simms Elementary and Giles Middle are the lowest-performing schools, ranking in the 7th and 9th percentiles respectively. Roosevelt-Wilson Elementary shows remarkable improvement, jumping from the 30th to the 71st percentile in two years. The middle schools, including Dickinson J H and Blocker Middle, all post exceptionally high Algebra I scores, though general math proficiency drops sharply from elementary levels. The only charter option, Odyssey Academy - Texas City, ranks in the 16th percentile and struggles in math.
Key metrics reveal that the Texas City ISD ranks 644 out of 951 districts statewide, with a high school graduation rate of 81.1% and a dropout rate of 4.5%. Per-student spending ranges from $10,868 to $13,992, but higher spending does not guarantee better results. The student-teacher ratio is favorable, averaging 13.8:1. A critical takeaway is the "middle school math cliff," where proficiency plummets after elementary school, and the inconsistent progress across schools, with Texas City High School declining in ranking over recent years.
