Summary:
The Jourdanton Independent School District (Isd) serves approximately 1,552 students across six campuses in Texas, including two elementary schools, one middle school, one traditional high school, and two alternative/specialized high schools, earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 54th percentile statewide.
The district's standout performer is Jourdanton J H, which consistently ranks in the 65th percentile or higher and achieves exceptional results in Algebra I, with 8th graders reaching 93.33% proficiency in 2025-2026 and a perfect 100% in 2024-2025—far exceeding district and state averages. This middle school also excels in 7th-grade Reading (70.48%) and 8th-grade Mathematics (69.17%). In contrast, Jourdanton High School shows a troubling "Algebra I cliff," where proficiency plummets to roughly 20% despite the middle school's strong preparation, though it maintains a solid 95.3% graduation rate and strong U.S. History (78.13%) and Biology (66.15%) scores. Jourdanton Elementary struggles with math, with 5th-grade proficiency at just 29.91% in 2025-2026, well below the state average, while Jourdanton Ecc serves younger students with a 63.71% economic disadvantage rate.
Key takeaways include the middle school's role as a model of excellence, the high school's inconsistent performance in core subjects, and the high per-student spending at alternative schools like Atascosa County Juvenile Justice Center ($26,064) and Jourdanton Daep ($30,155), which yield low test scores due to serving high-need populations. The district's elementary math weakness and inconsistent English Language Arts results highlight areas needing improvement, while the middle school's success offers a blueprint for raising overall performance.
