Summary:
The 78562 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the La Villa Independent School District (ISD). While the schools face challenges in academic performance, with students generally scoring below state averages on standardized tests, there are some bright spots worth highlighting.
The standout school in the area is La Villa Early College High School, which boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 96% and a low dropout rate of 1.5%. This school also outperforms the district and state on several STAAR EOC exams, including English I Reading, English II Reading, and U.S. History. Meanwhile, La Villa Middle School stands out for its relatively strong performance in 6th grade reading, with 60% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 54.45%.
However, the overall academic performance of the schools in the 78562 zip code area is a concern, with the Jose Bernabe Munoz Elementary school particularly struggling, with only 8.11% of 3rd graders proficient in reading and 13.51% proficient in math. The high rates of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 91.76% to 95.47%, suggest that the schools face significant challenges in serving their communities. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive review of the district's educational strategies and targeted interventions to support the unique needs of these students.
