Summary:
The Judson Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 5 middle schools that serve students in grades 6-8. These schools include Judson Middle, Kitty Hawk Middle, Henry Metzger Middle, Woodlake Hills Middle, and Kirby Middle. The data reveals notable differences in academic performance, spending, and student-teacher ratios across these middle schools.
Kitty Hawk Middle stands out as the highest-performing middle school in the district, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong proficiency rates on STAAR tests, particularly in reading, math, science, and Algebra I. It also has the lowest dropout rate (3%) and spends more per student ($8,645) compared to the other schools. In contrast, Woodlake Hills Middle excels in 6th grade reading proficiency and performs better than the district and state averages on several STAAR tests, while maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5.
The data also reveals significant disparities in performance across the Judson ISD middle schools. For example, in 8th grade math, Kitty Hawk Middle had a 30.36% proficiency rate, while Henry Metzger Middle had only 11.93%. Additionally, the school with the highest spending per student, Kirby Middle, had some of the lowest STAAR test proficiency rates, suggesting that simply spending more money may not directly translate to improved academic outcomes. Overall, the Judson ISD middle schools face challenges in providing high-quality education compared to other districts in Texas, as evidenced by their low statewide rankings.
