Summary

Kennard Independent School District (Isd) is a small, rural school in Kennard, TX, serving approximately 275 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade with a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.8:1, which allows for more individualized attention.

This district stands out for its strong elementary performance and high school science results. In 5th-grade reading, 70% of Kennard students were proficient, far exceeding nearby Wells School (20%) and Centerville High School (13.33%). Similarly, in 5th-grade math, Kennard (60%) was the only school among these three to surpass the state average. In high school Biology, 85% of Kennard students were proficient, outpacing the state average of 70.51% and both nearby schools. The district also boasts a 0% dropout rate for five consecutive years and a 100% graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year, reflecting a stable and supportive environment that keeps students on track.

However, the district faces notable challenges. A significant "middle school slump" sees proficiency drop sharply in 6th-grade math to just 7.69%, and Algebra I remains a persistent weakness, with only 23.53% of students proficient compared to the state average of 54.03%. While Kennard Independent School District (Isd) spends $14,584 per student—far less than Wells Independent School District (Isd) ($23,639)—it achieves better elementary results, suggesting efficient resource use. Yet, Centerville Independent School District (Isd) often outperforms Kennard in high school end-of-course exams, indicating a need for stronger math and middle school support to ensure consistent success from elementary through graduation.
