Summary:
Kilgore Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one middle school, Kilgore Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. Despite its diverse student population, Kilgore Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools and received a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement.
Academically, Kilgore Middle's performance is below the state averages, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency rates range from 18.34% for 6th grade to 40.96% for 8th grade, significantly lower than the state average. However, the school's Algebra I proficiency rate is exceptionally high at 90.48%, suggesting a strong program in this subject area. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 75.14% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges and could require additional resources and support to address the needs of this population.
While Kilgore Middle has a low 0.0% dropout rate, its student-teacher ratio of 16.7 is slightly higher than the state average, which may indicate a need for more teaching resources or support. Overall, the data suggests that Kilgore Independent School District should focus on improving the academic performance of Kilgore Middle, particularly in mathematics, and consider allocating additional resources to support the school's economically disadvantaged student population.
