Summary:
Hardin Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one middle school, Hardin J H, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a low 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past few years, indicating it is facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Hardin J H's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in STAAR tests generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, particularly in mathematics. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates range from 0% in 7th grade math to 87.5% in Algebra I end-of-course exams, significantly lower than the Hardin ISD and Texas state averages. The school's dropout rate, however, is relatively low at 0.3% for the 2022-2023 school year.
Hardin J H serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 60.73% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $10,544, which may not be sufficient to address the unique needs of its student population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.6 is slightly lower than the state average, but this alone does not appear to be enough to improve the school's overall academic performance.
