Summary:
The 77660 zip code area is home to two schools - Spurger Elementary and Spurger High School, both part of the Spurger Independent School District (Isd). While the schools face some challenges, they also show pockets of strength and potential for improvement.
Spurger High School has seen a significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom 20% of Texas high schools in 2023-2024 to the top 32% in 2024-2025, suggesting the school is making positive strides. Meanwhile, Spurger Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years, which is above average for the state.
Both schools have high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a need for additional support and resources to address the economic challenges facing the student population. However, the district's above-average spending per student and smaller class sizes, as evidenced by the low student-teacher ratios, could be strengths that allow for more individualized attention and support for students. While the schools generally perform below the state average on STAAR assessments, Spurger High School outperforms the state in Biology and U.S. History end-of-course exams, providing a potential model for effective instructional practices that could be applied to other subject areas.
