Summary:
The Clint Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 4 middle schools serving students in grades 6-8. These schools, located in a predominantly Hispanic community, face socioeconomic challenges with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, one school, Clint Junior High School, stands out as the top performer in the district.
Clint Junior High School outshines its peers, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 1298 out of 2361 Texas middle schools. The school boasts higher proficiency rates on STAAR tests across multiple subjects and grade levels, including an impressive 75% of students scoring proficient or better on the Algebra I end-of-course exam. In contrast, the other middle schools in the Clint ISD generally lag behind the state averages in academic performance, particularly in mathematics and social studies.
Despite the challenges faced by these middle schools, all 4 maintain a 0.0% dropout rate, indicating strong student retention. However, the majority of the schools are rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting room for improvement in overall educational quality. The Clint ISD has an opportunity to focus on addressing the socioeconomic factors and targeting areas of academic weakness to elevate the performance of all its middle schools and better support student learning and achievement.
