Summary:
Hearne Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single high school, Hearne Jh/High School, which serves students from grades 7 through 12. The school's performance data reveals significant challenges, with consistently low academic achievement and limited progress over the years.
Hearne Jh/High School serves a diverse student population, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Despite the school's relatively low student-to-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, its academic performance on STAAR tests remains significantly below the state's benchmarks across all subject areas and grade levels. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 16.67% of 7th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 52.08%.
While the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 94.0%, its dropout rate of 1.9% for the 2021-2022 school year is still higher than the state's desired target. Additionally, Hearne Independent School District has consistently ranked Hearne Jh/High School in the bottom tier of Texas high schools, with a 0-star rating out of 5. These findings suggest that the school faces significant challenges in providing quality education and addressing the unique needs of its diverse student population.
