Summary:
The 78336 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - H.T. Faulk Elementary and Charlie Marshall Elementary - both of which are part of the Aransas Pass Independent School District (ISD). Based on the available data, these schools appear to be underperforming compared to state-level metrics, with consistently low test scores and declining statewide rankings.
Both H.T. Faulk Elementary and Charlie Marshall Elementary serve a predominantly low-income student population, with over 65% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty level can present additional challenges in terms of academic achievement and resource allocation. On the STAAR tests, the schools perform significantly below the state average in reading, math, and science proficiency across all grade levels, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and increased support.
The Aransas Pass ISD as a whole is ranked 834 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Charlie Marshall Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 3,928 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 4,206 out of 4,651 in 2024-2025, with a 0-star rating. While the per-student spending for both schools is slightly below the state average, the student-teacher ratios are slightly higher than the recommended ratio for elementary schools, which may also contribute to the academic challenges faced by these institutions.
