Summary:
Kermit Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one middle school, Kermit J H, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is significantly below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 22.92% to 43.27% in reading and 17.43% to 33.65% in math, compared to state averages of 53.96% to 54.45% and 31.89% to 48.96%, respectively.
Kermit J H has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (74.38%), which may contribute to the school's academic challenges. Despite spending $13,809 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's performance has declined over the past few years, ranking 1,652 out of 2,330 Texas middle schools in 2022-2023, down from 1,416 out of 2,254 in 2021-2022. This suggests that the school may be facing resource allocation issues and struggles to effectively support student learning and achievement.
Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (81.53%), with relatively low representation of other racial/ethnic groups, indicating a need to explore strategies to promote greater diversity and inclusion within the school community. Overall, the data analysis reveals that Kermit Independent School District faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its middle school students, and addressing these concerns should be a priority for the district and school leadership.
