Summary:
The Kirbyville Consolidated Independent School District in Texas has one middle school, Kirbyville J H, serving grades 6-8. While the school has some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio and a 0% dropout rate, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally below the state average across multiple subjects and grade levels.
Kirbyville J H has an enrollment of 363 students, with a racial makeup of 76.58% White, 7.16% African American, 8.82% Hispanic, 0.28% Asian, 1.1% Native American, and 6.06% two or more races. The school has a high percentage of students (64.46%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population. The school's performance on STAAR tests has declined over the past three years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 919 out of 2,330 Texas middle schools in 2022-2023 to 1,398 out of 2,361 in 2023-2024.
While Kirbyville J H has a strong performance in Algebra I End of Course exams, with 55% of students scoring proficient or better, the school's performance in 8th-grade Social Studies (14.68% proficient or better) and 8th-grade Science (26.85% proficient or better) is particularly concerning. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be contributing to these academic challenges, and the district may benefit from focusing on instructional strategies and student support to address these areas of concern.
