In contrast, Webb Middle and Pickle Elementary face severe academic challenges, ranking in the 2nd and 1st percentiles statewide, respectively. The charter high school, Cedars Academy Next Generation H S At Highland, is a high achiever with a 4-star rating, a 100% graduation rate, and strong test scores in Biology and U.S. History. Meanwhile, Northeast Early College High School presents a paradox with a 99.4% graduation rate but very low STAAR proficiency rates, suggesting a focus on keeping students enrolled despite academic struggles.
The area is characterized by high economic disadvantage, with an average free/reduced lunch rate of 85.6%, though Reilly Elementary is a notable exception at 42.12%. The alternative International High School serves a 100% economically disadvantaged population and has the lowest test scores, yet retains students better than the district average. Other elementary schools like Brown Elementary and Wooten Elementary show moderate but below-average performance. Overall, the zip code reveals a stark divide between a few high-performing schools and several that struggle significantly, with socioeconomic factors playing a clear role in outcomes.
