Best Public Schools in Zip Code 78640

Summary:

The 78640 zip code area in Texas is home to 15 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools, all part of the Hays Consolidated Independent School District, except for Valor Kyle and Idea Kyle, which are public charter schools.

Among the standout schools in the area, Laura B Negley Elementary consistently ranks in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools, with strong reading and math proficiency. The public charter schools, Valor Kyle and Idea Kyle College Preparatory, also excel, with impressive test scores, particularly in reading. However, the district's traditional public schools show more mixed results, with a significant achievement gap between the highest and lowest performing schools.

The middle schools in the district, such as D.J. Red Simon, Laura B Wallace, and Armando Chapa, appear to struggle more than the elementary and high schools, with lower proficiency rates and higher dropout rates. Addressing these challenges in the middle schools could be a key focus area for the Hays Consolidated Independent School District.
