Jacksboro Independent School District (Isd)

The Jacksboro Independent School District (Isd) consists of three schools - Jacksboro Elementary, Jacksboro High School, and Jacksboro Middle School - serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is located in a predominantly white, economically disadvantaged community, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.

Jacksboro High School stands out as the district's top performer, with a strong 98.4% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.3% dropout rate. The school also excels in U.S. History, with 80.81% of students proficient or better on the STAAR EOC exam. In contrast, Jacksboro Elementary and Jacksboro Middle School struggle to meet state-level proficiency standards in core subjects like Reading and Math, indicating a need for targeted interventions to improve academic outcomes in the earlier grades.

Despite the challenges faced by the elementary and middle schools, Jacksboro Middle School does show a bright spot, with an impressive 95% proficiency rate on the STAAR EOC Algebra I exam. This achievement could be leveraged to enhance overall math performance across the district. Additionally, the high student-teacher ratio at Jacksboro High School (10.3) suggests the district is investing resources to provide more personalized attention to its high school students.
