Summary:
The 78154 zip code area is home to 9 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Schertz-Cibolo-U City Independent School District (ISD). While the district is ranked 490 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools in the area demonstrate exceptional academic performance.
Founders Classical Academy of Schertz, a public charter school, significantly outperforms the district and state averages on most academic metrics, including STAAR test scores, with the highest proficiency rates in reading and math across all grade levels. Similarly, Norma J. Paschal Elementary and Green Valley Elementary also excel in reading and math proficiency, surpassing the district and state averages.
In contrast, the district's overall STAAR proficiency rates are lower than the state averages, suggesting the need for improvement across the schools. The data also reveals significant variation in academic performance, even within the same district, highlighting the importance of analyzing individual school performance rather than relying solely on district-level data. Additionally, the wide range of free/reduced lunch rates, from around 30% to over 70%, indicates varying levels of economic disadvantage among the student populations, which may require targeted resources and support to help close achievement gaps.
