Best Public Schools in Zip Code 78063

Summary:

The 78063 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Hill Country Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Bandera Independent School District (ISD). With a total enrollment of 487 students, Hill Country Elementary has seen its performance decline in recent years, dropping from a 2-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 1-star rating in the last two school years.

Academically, Hill Country Elementary's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Math, and Science are consistently lower than the Bandera ISD and Texas state averages, with the largest gaps in 4th grade Reading (35.09% vs. 53.73% state) and 3rd grade Math (29.85% vs. 44.88% state). Additionally, the school's 5th grade Science proficiency rate (22.22%) is significantly lower than the Bandera ISD (35.19%) and Texas (29.57%) averages. These academic challenges may be exacerbated by the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (61.4%) at the school.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio (13.3) and per-student spending ($10,191) that aligns with the state average, Hill Country Elementary's performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population. Developing targeted interventions and a comprehensive review of the school's programs and resource allocation may be necessary to improve student outcomes and reverse the declining performance trend.
