Summary:
The 77904 zip code area in Texas is home to 10 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, all part of the Victoria Independent School District (ISD), except for Nursery Elementary, which is part of the Nursery Independent School District. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the elementary schools and the middle/high schools, with the elementary schools, particularly Nursery Elementary, Vickers Elementary, and Ella Schorlemmer Elementary, demonstrating much higher proficiency rates on STAAR tests compared to the secondary schools.
The elementary schools with the strongest performance, Nursery Elementary, Vickers Elementary, and Ella Schorlemmer Elementary, consistently perform above the state and district averages on STAAR tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 59% to 83% in reading and math. These schools have earned high ratings from SchoolDigger, with Nursery Elementary ranking in the top 252 elementary schools in Texas.
In contrast, the middle and high schools in the 77904 zip code area generally perform below the state averages on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 16% to 67% across different subjects and grade levels. The wide range in free/reduced lunch rates, from 42% at Ella Schorlemmer Elementary to 89.74% at the Victoria Regional Juvenile Justice Center, suggests potential socioeconomic disparities among the schools, which may contribute to the differences in academic performance.
