Summary:
The Dumas Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to two middle schools, Dumas J.H. and Dumas Intermediate, both serving students in grades 5-8. While the district as a whole has room for improvement, with a 2-star rating from School Digger, the data reveals some standout performance at the individual school level.
Dumas J.H. stands out for its higher-than-average proficiency rates in STAAR Algebra I End of Course exams, with 71.7% of students scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 60.44% for the district and 47.01% for Texas. In contrast, Dumas Intermediate shines in reading proficiency, with 56.85% of 6th graders scoring proficient or better, exceeding the state average of 54.21%.
Both schools face challenges, with significantly lower proficiency rates than the state average in most STAAR subject areas, particularly in mathematics and science. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates, over 70% at both schools, indicate a need to address the academic needs of economically disadvantaged students. While the relatively low student-teacher ratios suggest manageable class sizes, this has not yet translated into stronger overall academic performance. Addressing these areas of improvement could be key priorities for the Dumas Independent School District (Isd) as it works to enhance the educational outcomes for its middle school students.
