Summary:
The 78361 zip code area in Texas is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Jim Hogg County Independent School District (ISD). While the district as a whole faces challenges, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, a closer look reveals some standout schools within the area.
Hebbronville High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.1% and a low dropout rate of 1.0% in the 2022-2023 school year. The school also outperforms the district and state averages on several STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, including English I Reading, English II Reading, and U.S. History. Similarly, Hebbronville J H (Middle School) outperforms the district and state on STAAR Reading for 6th and 7th grades, and boasts an impressive 60% proficiency rate on the Algebra I EOC exam in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district and state averages.
However, the data also reveals some challenges faced by the schools in this area. All three schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.3% to 85.24% in 2023-2024, suggesting the community may face socioeconomic challenges. Additionally, the district as a whole is ranked 644 out of 961 districts in Texas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating that the district-level performance may be impacting the individual schools. While the standout schools provide some hope, the overall data suggests that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the community.
