Summary:
The 79316 zip code area of Texas is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative high school) operated by the Brownfield Independent School District (Isd). These schools serve a student population with high levels of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 79.66% to 93.43%.
Among the standout schools in this area, Brownfield High School stands out with a 99.2% 4-year graduation rate and a low 0.1% dropout rate. Its STAAR EOC test scores are also generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in Biology and U.S. History. In contrast, the Brownfield Education Center, an alternative high school, has similarly high graduation and low dropout rates, but its STAAR EOC scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across most subjects.
Overall, the schools in the 79316 zip code area face significant challenges related to student achievement, with consistently lower STAAR/STAAR EOC test scores compared to state averages, often by 10-20 percentage points or more. This pattern of underperformance appears to be systemic across the district, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to help these schools and students reach their full potential.
