Summary:
The 76544 zip code area in Texas is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Killeen Independent School District (ISD). While the district as a whole is ranked 596 out of 968 districts in Texas and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few standout schools in the area demonstrate exceptional performance.
The Killeen ISD Early College High School is a shining example, consistently ranking among the top 10% of Texas high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a 98% four-year graduation rate and impressive proficiency rates on STAAR EOC exams, this school is a model of academic excellence. At the elementary level, Meadows Elementary and Montague Village Elementary also stand out, ranking in the top 25% and 33% of Texas elementary schools, respectively, and outperforming the district and state on STAAR assessments.
However, the data also reveals a range of performance among the schools in the 76544 zip code. While the higher-spending, lower-student-teacher ratio schools tend to have better academic outcomes, the economic disadvantage of the student population, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, appears to be a significant factor in school performance. The middle school, Audie Murphy Middle, performs well on reading assessments but struggles with math, particularly in the higher grades, suggesting an area for improvement. Overall, the data highlights the diversity of school performance within the Killeen ISD, with pockets of excellence and opportunities for growth.
