Summary:
The 79084 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Stratford Independent School District (ISD). While the schools share a common district, their academic performance varies, with Stratford J H and Stratford High School outperforming the state and district averages in several subjects, while Mary Allen Elementary lags behind.
Stratford J H stands out as a top-performing middle school, ranking 398 out of 2,330 Texas middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excels in STAAR reading and mathematics assessments, outpacing the state and district. Stratford High School also impresses with a high 97.4% 4-year graduation rate and strong performance on STAAR EOC exams, particularly in English II Reading and U.S. History. In contrast, Mary Allen Elementary struggles with lower proficiency rates compared to state and district averages in 3rd and 4th grade STAAR reading and mathematics.
Across the schools, high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, ranging from 55.25% to 63.19%, suggest that the student population faces socioeconomic challenges, which may be a factor in the observed academic performance differences. The schools allocate significant resources, with high spending per student and low student-to-teacher ratios, but the outcomes are still mixed, indicating a need to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to the achievement gap, particularly at Mary Allen Elementary.
