The city of Booker, Texas is home to two exceptional schools, Booker Jh/H S and Kirksey Elementary, both part of the Booker Independent School District (Isd). These schools consistently demonstrate strong academic performance, with Booker Jh/H S ranking 285 out of 1,987 Texas high schools and Kirksey Elementary ranking 413 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year.
Booker Jh/H S, a combined junior high and high school, maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 97.1% and a low dropout rate of 1.2%. The school outperforms the state average on STAAR/STAAR EOC assessments across multiple grade levels and subject areas, particularly in reading, math, and U.S. History. Kirksey Elementary also demonstrates strong academic performance, exceeding the state average on STAAR reading and math assessments in grades 3-5.
Both schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with a significant percentage of students from low-income families. Despite these demographic factors, the schools are able to achieve excellent academic outcomes, likely due to factors such as higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios at Booker Jh/H S. The consistent improvement in Booker Jh/H S's statewide ranking over the past three years suggests the school is continuously enhancing its educational quality and student outcomes, making it and Kirksey Elementary exemplary schools within the Booker ISD.
