Summary:
The Karnes City, Texas school district consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population. While the district's schools face academic performance challenges, with proficiency rates often below state averages, a few standout schools and opportunities for improvement have been identified.
Karnes City High School stands out with relatively high proficiency rates in U.S. History and English II Reading, as well as a comparatively higher graduation rate of 61.8%. In contrast, Roger E Sides Elementary and Karnes City J H (Middle School) have particularly low proficiency rates, ranking in the bottom quartile of their respective school types in the state. The middle school, however, does boast an impressive Algebra I EOC proficiency rate of 62.5%, significantly higher than the district and state averages.
Across the district, the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 56.84% at Karnes City High School to 70.14% at Roger E Sides Elementary, suggest that the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the academic performance challenges observed. Targeted interventions and resource allocation focused on supporting these students and addressing the achievement gap could be valuable areas of focus for the Karnes City Independent School District (Isd).
