Summary:
The five schools in zip code 78624, serving Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade within the Fredericksburg Independent School District (Isd), are located in Fredericksburg, Texas, and serve a student population with moderate to high economic disadvantage, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 51% to 79%.
Fredericksburg Middle stands out as the district's top performer, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 72nd percentile among Texas middle schools, driven by exceptional advanced coursework results—92.45% of its 8th graders scored proficient on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, far exceeding district and state averages. Fredericksburg High School is a consistent performer with a 97.8% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, showing steady improvement in its state ranking over three years. In contrast, Gillespie County High School, a small alternative campus with 19 students, struggles significantly with a 0-star rating, a low 88.2% graduation rate, and only 20% proficiency in U.S. History, highlighting a stark performance gap within the district.
Key metrics show the district ranks in the top 22% of Texas districts (213 out of 951, 4 stars), with total enrollment of about 2,924 students. Per-student spending is consistent across main campuses ($9,599 to $11,080), and student-teacher ratios are favorable (13:1 to 14.4:1). A critical area for improvement is elementary math, as Fredericksburg Elementary's 5th-grade math proficiency (38.07%) falls below the state average (47.38%), suggesting a disconnect between foundational skills and the advanced math success seen at the middle school. The district's strong Algebra I pipeline, from middle school acceleration to high school completion, remains a major strength.
