Summary:
The Crockett Independent School District (Isd) contains a single middle school, Crockett J H, serving grades 6 through 8 with a total enrollment of 248 students in a small, economically disadvantaged community where over 92% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Crockett J H presents a mixed picture of performance. On one hand, the school has a perfect 0.0% dropout rate and a standout advanced mathematics program: 100% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, far exceeding the state average of 54%. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 15% of Texas middle schools, with overall proficiency rates in core subjects significantly below state averages. For example, 6th-grade math proficiency is just 8.86% compared to the state's 38.57%, and 8th-grade reading proficiency is 39.24% versus the state's 58.69%. This creates a "tale of two math programs," where top-tier students excel while the majority struggle to reach grade-level standards.
Key metrics include a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10:1 and spending of $12,075 per student, which may help address the challenges of high poverty. There is a slight positive trend in state rankings, moving from the 11th percentile to the 15th percentile over three years, suggesting marginal improvement. Because Crockett J H is the only middle school in the district, its test scores are identical to the district's, meaning there is no internal benchmark for comparison. Parents should note the school's strong advanced math program and low dropout rate, but also the widespread underperformance in general math, reading, and social studies.
