Summary:
The 77951 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Bloomington Independent School District (ISD). Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as all three schools are performing significantly below the state average on key metrics such as test scores, graduation rates, and dropout rates.
The Bloomington Elementary, Bloomington J H, and Bloomington High School all have proficiency rates in STAAR reading, math, and science that are well below the state average. For example, in 2024-2025, only 23.19% of 3rd graders at Bloomington Elementary were proficient in reading, compared to the state average of 52.02%. The high school also struggles, with only 22.67% of students proficient in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 47.01%.
The district's challenges extend beyond academics, with the high school's 4-year graduation rate of 85.2% being lower than the state average, and the dropout rate for both the middle school and high school at 4.2%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, all three schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.8% at the high school to 88.73% at the middle school, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges in the area. Despite the district's resource allocation, with per-student spending ranging from $10,484 to $16,661, and student-teacher ratios between 11.4 and 14.7, the outcomes do not reflect the investment, raising questions about the effectiveness of the district's resource utilization.
