Summary:
The Hearne Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates two schools: Hearne Elementary and Hearne JH/High School. Both schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with over 92% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Based on the available data, neither Hearne Elementary nor Hearne JH/High School appears to be a standout performer. Both schools are ranked in the bottom 5-10% of their respective school types in Texas, with 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. Proficiency rates on STAAR tests are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The schools have consistently low academic performance, with no signs of significant improvement over the past few years.
In terms of resources, Hearne JH/High School spends more per student ($19,583) compared to Hearne Elementary ($12,488), and has a lower student-teacher ratio (7.5:1 vs. 12:1). However, this higher level of funding and smaller class sizes does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for students. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the schools in the Hearne ISD, with both institutions struggling to meet the needs of their students and provide a high-quality education.
