Summary:
In zip code 78834, there is one high school, Carrizo Springs High School, serving grades 9 through 12 with 565 students in the Carrizo Springs Consolidated Independent School District, an area where nearly 73% of students are economically disadvantaged.
Carrizo Springs High School shows strong signs of a turnaround, with its state ranking jumping from the 19th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 35th percentile in 2025-2026. The school’s strongest subject is U.S. History, where 68.25% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, very close to the state average. However, Algebra I remains a significant challenge; while proficiency improved dramatically from 7.37% to 24.73% in a single year, it still lags 29.3 percentage points behind the state average. The school’s graduation rate is 80.1%, and its dropout rate of 2.8% is higher than the district average of 1.9%.
A key finding is that for the 2025-2026 school year, the school’s proficiency scores in Biology, English I, English II, and U.S. History are identical to the district’s scores, suggesting the high school is the primary driver of those results. However, in Algebra I, the school’s score of 24.73% is drastically lower than the district’s 50.35%, indicating a specific problem at the high school level that is improving but has not yet caught up. Overall, the school is improving from a low baseline, and while the gap to state averages is narrowing, sustained effort is needed to reach parity in all subjects.
