Summary:
The 77979 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. Overall, the elementary schools in this area stand out as the strongest performers, with Jackson/Roosevelt Elementary and Harrison/Jefferson/Madison Elementary ranking in the top 30% and 20% of Texas elementary schools, respectively. These schools have impressive test scores, with 3rd-5th grade students performing well above state and district averages in reading, math, and science.
The middle school, Travis Middle, lags behind the elementary schools in performance, with lower test scores, especially in math. The two high schools in the area, Calhoun High School and Hope High School, have mixed results. Calhoun High has solid graduation and dropout rates, but its test scores are only average, while Hope High has much weaker performance metrics.
Across all schools, the high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggest these are generally lower-income communities that may need additional support and resources. The wide variation in spending per student, from $9,620 to $30,440, is also noteworthy and may contribute to the differences in school performance observed in the Calhoun County Independent School District (Isd).
