Summary:
The Ganado Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one middle school, Ganado JH, serving grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 152 students. While the school has maintained a 0.0% dropout rate, its academic performance on STAAR tests has been consistently lower than the state average, particularly in reading, math, science, and social studies.
Ganado JH's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 1535 out of 2344 Texas middle schools in 2024-2025 (2 out of 5 stars) to 1443 out of 2330 in 2022-2023 (2 out of 5 stars). The school's reading proficiency rates range from 36.54% to 52.83% across grades 6-8, while math proficiency rates range from 13.33% to 40.63%. However, the school has excelled in Algebra I, with 100% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 47.01%.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8 and spends $9,887 per student, which could be an advantage in providing more personalized attention and support. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 58.55% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. While this may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance, Ganado JH has the potential to improve with the right strategies and resources.
