Summary:
The Jourdanton Independent School District (ISD) in Texas serves approximately 1,552 students across six schools, including elementary, middle, and high school campuses, and is ranked 439th out of 951 districts in the state, earning a 3-star rating.
The standout school in the district is Jourdanton J H, which consistently earns a 3-star rating and ranks in the 65th percentile statewide. Its performance in advanced math is exceptional, with 100% of 8th graders proficient in Algebra I in 2024-2025. In contrast, Jourdanton High School has seen a decline, dropping from the 62nd percentile to the 45th percentile over three years, driven by very low Algebra I proficiency (19.8% in 2025-2026). The alternative schools, Jourdanton Daep and Atascosa County Juvenile Justice Center, have the highest spending per student ($30,155 and $26,064 respectively) but show low academic performance, typical for specialized programs focused on behavioral intervention. Jourdanton Elementary shows mixed results, with math scores lagging behind state averages, while Jourdanton Ecc has the highest economic disadvantage rate (63.71%) and the largest student-teacher ratio (16.8:1) among standard schools.
A key finding is the "Algebra I Pipeline" disconnect: while Jourdanton J H excels in advanced math, proficiency plummets at Jourdanton High School, suggesting a breakdown in math instruction between middle and high school. The district's overall 3-star rating masks internal variance, with the middle school being a strong asset and the high school losing ground. Improving the high school's math performance is critical for the district's future ranking.
