Summary:
The Gilmer Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two middle schools, Bruce J.H. and Gilmer Intermediate, both serving students in grades 5-8. These schools have shown strong academic performance, with Bruce J.H. excelling in STAAR EOC Algebra I and maintaining a relatively high statewide ranking among Texas middle schools.
Both schools have significant racial diversity, with predominantly White student populations and significant Hispanic and African American representation. However, they also face socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the schools have maintained consistent academic performance, with Bruce J.H. showing particular strength in Algebra I and Gilmer Intermediate excelling in 6th grade reading.
The data suggests that the middle schools in the Gilmer Independent School District are performing reasonably well, with some standout areas of academic achievement. However, the district as a whole has room for improvement, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. There may be opportunities for collaboration and sharing of best practices between the two schools to further improve student outcomes and address the socioeconomic challenges faced by the communities they serve.
