Kennedale Independent School District (Isd)

The Kennedale Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving a diverse student population. The district's schools show a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with Kennedale High School and Kennedale J H (Middle School) standing out for their academic performance.

Kennedale High School boasts a relatively high graduation rate of 94.6% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%, indicating strong student support and success. The school also outperforms the district and state averages on some STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, such as Biology, English II Reading, and U.S. History. In contrast, Kennedale J H (Middle School) excels, outperforming the district and state averages on STAAR Reading and Mathematics tests for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, and particularly on the Algebra I EOC exam, with 97.5% of students proficient or better.

While the district's schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios and invest in smaller class sizes, the overall performance on STAAR tests is below the state average, and the high free/reduced lunch rates across the district suggest a need to address socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student achievement. The district's focus on supporting students from low-income backgrounds is a positive factor, but more work may be needed to raise academic outcomes consistently across all schools.
