Summary:
The zip code 78724 in Austin, Texas is home to 15 schools serving students from elementary through high school, operated by various school districts including Austin Independent School District (ISD), Del Valle ISD, Manor ISD, and several public charter school networks.
Among the standout schools in this area are Magnolia Montessori For All, a public charter elementary school with exceptional reading proficiency, and Austin Discovery School, a public charter elementary/middle school that also excels in reading. The Texas Empowerment Academy, an alternative public charter school, stands out with high graduation rates and low dropout rates compared to state averages.
However, many schools in the area struggle with academic performance, with several schools performing below state and district averages on STAAR tests. This appears to be correlated with the high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the need to address socioeconomic challenges in the community. The data also reveals significant variation in performance within the same school districts, suggesting that factors beyond just district-level policies may be influencing student outcomes.
