Overlapping state house districts
| Office Name | Current Officeholder | Party | % School District Covered | % Other District Covered |

| Texas House of Representatives District 77 | Vincent Perez | Democratic Party | 36% | 38% |
| Texas House of Representatives District 75 | Mary Gonzalez | Democratic Party | 6% | 1% |
The table was limited to the lower chamber because it provides the most granularity. State house districts tend to be more numerous and therefore smaller than state senate or U.S. House districts. This provides an impression of the partisan affiliations in the area.

Academic performance
Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by theU.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result,proficiency levels are not comparable between different states andyear-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements. To protect student privacy, percentages are reported as ranges for groups of 300 students or fewer. If five or fewer students were included in a data set, the data will display as "PS."[2]
The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:
