Summary:
The Jourdanton Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single middle school, Jourdanton J H, which serves grades 6 through 8 with a total enrollment of 362 students in a small-town Texas setting.
Jourdanton J H shows a fascinating split in academic performance. The school is a standout in advanced mathematics, with 100% of Algebra I test-takers proficient in 2024-2025 and 93.33% in 2025-2026, far exceeding state averages. Eighth-grade math is also a clear strength, with 69.17% of students proficient in 2025-2026 compared to the state's 47.24%. However, this excellence does not extend to all grades: only 34.51% of 6th graders and 34.67% of 7th graders were proficient in math in 2025-2026, both below state averages. This suggests the school's math program may be particularly effective for older students or that a strong intervention kicks in after 7th grade. The school also struggles consistently in 8th Grade Social Studies, where proficiency rates of 24.59% in 2025-2026 lag behind the state average of 31.69%.
Other key metrics show a mixed picture. The school has maintained a stable 3-star state ranking over the last three years, fluctuating between the 55th and 67th percentiles. Its student-teacher ratio is 14.2, and 44.75% of students are economically disadvantaged. The dropout rate is a low 0.4%, better than the district average. A notable volatility appears in 7th Grade Reading, which jumped from 47.54% proficient in 2024-2025 to 70.48% in 2025-2026, a swing that could be due to a new curriculum or a strong cohort. Overall, Jourdanton J H is a solid, average-to-slightly-above-average school with pockets of excellence in advanced math and clear areas needing improvement in social studies and early middle school math.
