Summary:
The four public schools in the Diboll Independent School District (Isd) serve approximately 1,573 students from Pre-K through 12th grade in the city of Diboll, Texas, a community where nearly 70% of students face economic disadvantage.
Diboll High School is the district's standout performer, earning a 3-star rating after a remarkable 19-percentile-point jump in state ranking. It outperformed the state average in four of five core subjects (Algebra I, Biology, English I, and English II) while maintaining a 99.2% graduation rate and a 0.4% dropout rate. In contrast, Diboll J H excels specifically in advanced math, with 70.83% of its 8th graders taking Algebra I scoring proficient—well above the state's 54.03%. This "Diboll J H Effect" directly boosts the high school's math scores. However, H G Temple Intermediate (grades 3-5) struggles significantly, particularly in 4th grade math where only 24.49% of students were proficient compared to the state average of 49.28%. H G Temple Elementary (PK-2) has the highest economic disadvantage rate at 75.47% but lacks recent test score data for evaluation.
Key metrics show the district maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.7:1, with per-student spending averaging $11,822. Interestingly, the school with the lowest spending (Diboll J H at $11,244) produces the strongest math results, while the highest-spending school (H G Temple Elementary at $12,626) has no recent performance data. This suggests that instructional strategies and student selection for advanced courses drive success more than financial resources alone. The high school's ability to outperform state averages despite a 63% economically disadvantaged population makes it a beacon of success, while the elementary and middle schools generally lag behind, creating a dynamic where the district's overall performance is pulled down by its lower grades.
