Summary:
The 78578 zip code area in Texas is home to 5 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Point Isabel Independent School District (ISD). While the district as a whole is ranked 555 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating, a few schools in the area stand out in their performance.
Derry Elementary is the highest-ranked school in the data set, ranking 1,844 out of 4,651 Texas elementary schools and receiving a 3-star rating. It also has relatively strong test scores, with over 50% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math and 4th graders proficient or better in reading. In contrast, Port Isabel Early College High School stands out for its high graduation rate of 89.0% and low dropout rate of 1.1%, the best among the schools in the data set.
Overall, the schools in the 78578 zip code area face significant economic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients ranging from 84.11% to 92.59%. This may contribute to the generally lower-than-average test scores across the schools, particularly in math and reading. However, the presence of an alternative school, Cameron County J J A E P, suggests that the district is working to provide specialized educational environments to meet the diverse needs of its students.
