Zip code 75089 in Garland, Texas is served by Garland Independent School District for public school enrollment. The district covers grades Pre-K – 12th. This page provides a data-driven overview of Garland Independent School District’s funding levels, size, rating, and what families should know before enrolling or making a housing decision in this area.
Understanding the 5/10 Rating
With a rating of 5/10 (average), Garland Independent School District ranks among Texas’s average-rated school systems. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in Texas’ STAAR grades 3–8 Reading & Math assessments (2023 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Texas is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Garland Independent School District falls near the middle of Texas on state assessment results, with reading and math proficiency close to the state median. Average-rated districts provide foundational public education, and many families find they deliver solid day-to-day learning — particularly when parents stay engaged. If you're considering this area, look beyond the overall rating: visit schools, talk to current parents, and research the specific school your child would attend. Average districts often have individual schools that significantly outperform the district mean.
