Summary:
In zip code 78013, there is one high school, Comfort High School, serving grades 9 through 12 in the Comfort Independent School District (Isd), with a total enrollment of 369 students in a rural Texas area.
Comfort High School stands out for its exceptional graduation rate of 98.9% and a 0.0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, far exceeding state averages. The school also offers a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1, which can allow for more individualized attention. However, its state ranking places it in the bottom third of Texas high schools, with a slight decline over recent years. The school spends $13,089 per student, and 43.63% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a moderate level of economic disadvantage.
A key finding is the stark contrast in academic performance: while Comfort High School performs near or above state averages in English I and II reading, it significantly lags in Algebra I (38.78% vs. 54.03% state), Biology (61.43% vs. 70.51%), and U.S. History (52.87% vs. 70.17%). This creates a paradox where the school excels at keeping students on track to graduate but struggles to achieve state-level proficiency in math, science, and history. Additionally, Algebra I scores saw a dramatic jump from 11.11% to 38.78% in one year, which is unusual and may warrant further investigation. The school's scores in most subjects match the district's, but a puzzling discrepancy exists in Algebra I, where the school's score is much lower than the district's average.
