Summary:
The city of Hearne, Texas is home to two public schools: Hearne Elementary and Hearne JH/High School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Hearne Independent School District. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture of the educational landscape in Hearne, as neither school appears to be performing well compared to state averages.
According to the data, both Hearne Elementary and Hearne JH/High School are ranked in the bottom percentiles of their respective categories statewide, with 0-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Their students consistently score 20-30 percentage points below state averages on standardized tests, and both schools have very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, at over 92%. While Hearne JH/High School has a relatively high 94% four-year graduation rate, it also has a 1% dropout rate, indicating room for improvement in keeping students engaged.
The challenges faced by these two schools appear to be systemic issues within the broader Hearne Independent School District, which is ranked 941 out of 961 districts in Texas and also has a 0-star rating. Both schools have seen little to no improvement in their statewide rankings and test scores over the past three school years, suggesting that significant interventions may be needed to drive meaningful progress for students in Hearne.
