Summary:
The Jarrell Middle is the sole middle school located within the Jarrell Independent School District (Isd) in Texas. The school serves students in grades 6-8 and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools over the past few years, indicating persistent challenges in academic achievement.
Jarrell Middle's performance on STAAR tests is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels, with particularly low proficiency rates in mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 7th-grade students proficient or better in math was just 13.73%, compared to the state average of 31.12%. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 64.64% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic struggles.
Despite the school's overall low performance, the relatively low dropout rate of 0.1% for the 2022-2023 school year indicates that students are remaining engaged in their education. This could be a foundation to build upon and explore strategies to improve academic outcomes. Addressing the challenges faced by Jarrell Middle through targeted interventions and support could be crucial in enhancing the educational opportunities for the students in this district.
