Keene Independent School District (Isd)

The Keene Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates four schools, including two elementary schools (Keene Elementary and The Summit Leadership Academy), one middle school (Keene J H), and one high school (Keene High School). The district's schools demonstrate a mix of strengths, with Keene J H and The Summit Leadership Academy standing out for their academic performance and low student-teacher ratios.

Keene J H is the district's top-performing school, ranking 786 out of 2,361 Texas middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the district and state averages in several STAAR test subjects, including reading, math, and Algebra I, while maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.3. The Summit Leadership Academy also performed well, ranking 1,922 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools and outperforming the district and state in 4th and 5th grade reading, as well as 5th grade science, with a low student-teacher ratio of 10.1.

While the Keene ISD schools generally performed at or above state averages in many STAAR test subjects, the district faces some challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which suggests socioeconomic challenges that could impact academic achievement. Additionally, there are areas for improvement, such as Keene High School's low Algebra I proficiency rates and The Summit Leadership Academy's below-average 3rd grade reading scores. Overall, the district's schools demonstrate a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with a focus on reading and English performance.
