Summary:
The city of Kenedy, Texas is home to three public schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Kenedy Elementary, Kenedy High School, and Kenedy Middle. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are performing significantly below the state average on most academic metrics, with low test scores, rankings, and graduation rates compared to other schools in Texas.
The student population across the three Kenedy schools is predominantly Hispanic, ranging from 87.36% to 87.76%, with the white student population making up the second largest group at 8.64% to 8.99%. The schools also serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 78.18% to 87.92%. This suggests that the Kenedy Independent School District faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting academic performance.
Despite varying levels of per-student spending, from $10,655 to $17,066, the data shows that all three Kenedy schools are struggling to provide a high-quality education to their students. Proficiency rates on standardized tests are well below the state average, and graduation rates at Kenedy High School, while slightly below the state average, indicate that the district has room for improvement in supporting student success. Addressing these academic and socioeconomic disparities should be a priority for the Kenedy school district as it works to improve outcomes for all students.
