Summary:
Jarrell Independent School District (Isd) has a single middle school, Jarrell Middle, serving grades 6-8. Located in the small town of Jarrell, Texas, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Texas middle schools with a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Jarrell Middle's academic performance is a major concern, with proficiency rates on the STAAR exams well below state averages, particularly in mathematics. The school's reading proficiency rates range from 41.43% to 45.69%, compared to the state's 52.08% to 54.45%, while its math proficiency rates are even lower, from 6.88% to 23.26%, compared to the state's 31.89% to 40.23%. The school's Algebra I End-of-Course exam performance is also below the state average.
Despite the Jarrell Independent School District (Isd) allocating resources to the school, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.5 and per-student spending of $9,802, the academic outcomes have not improved. The school serves a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students and a high percentage (63.7%) of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the challenges the school faces in providing a high-quality education.
