Best Public Schools in Zip Code 78747


Summary:

The 78747 zip code area has only one school, Wayside Altamira Academy, an elementary public charter school serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 293 students. While the school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is significantly below the Wayside Schools district and Texas state averages, ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools.

Wayside Altamira Academy's STAAR Reading proficiency rates range from 17.07% to 28%, compared to the district average of 33.33% to 37.74% and the state average of 48.85% to 53.96%. The school's performance in STAAR Mathematics and Science is also notably lower than the district and state. Additionally, a high percentage (73.38%) of Wayside Altamira Academy students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively low-income student population.

Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio of 14.7, the consistently poor academic results and overall 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicate that Wayside Altamira Academy is an underperforming school, with students struggling to meet state standards. The school's demographic composition and financial resources may be contributing factors to its academic challenges, and targeted improvement strategies will be crucial to enhance educational outcomes for its students.
