Summary

Kirby Middle is a public middle school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 637 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Judson Independent School District, which is ranked 768 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Kirby Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Texas middle schools over the past decade, currently ranking 2192 out of 2344 middle schools in the state.

Kirby Middle significantly underperforms compared to the Judson ISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 24.24% of 7th graders were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 39.77% for Judson ISD and 51.69% for Texas. The school's performance is especially low in mathematics, with only 8.93% of 7th graders and 20.28% of 8th graders reaching proficiency. Kirby Middle also has consistently higher dropout rates than the district and state averages, ranging from 0.8% to 3.1% over the past few years.

When comparing Kirby Middle to other nearby middle schools, such as Krueger Middle and Woodlake Hills Middle, both part of the Judson ISD, the academic performance gap is quite significant. Kirby Middle's high percentage of low-income students (94.19% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) may indicate a need for additional funding and resources to support the unique needs of its student population. The school's challenges in serving diverse student populations, such as Hispanic, White, and Gifted and Talented students, suggest a need for more targeted and differentiated instructional strategies.
