Summary:
The Karnes City Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a community with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which may present additional challenges in supporting student learning and achievement.
Among the schools, Karnes City High School has shown some improvement in its statewide ranking, but its overall performance remains relatively low, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 59.2% is concerning, and its dropout rate of 10% is high. In contrast, the Karnes City J H (Middle School) has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating and academic performance well below state averages.
Across the district, STAAR test scores are generally well below state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, only 38.1% of Karnes City High School students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 47.01%. The elementary schools also struggle, with only 22.78% of 5th-grade students at Roger E Sides Elementary proficient or better in mathematics. Despite the district's challenges, it spends between $13,314 and $14,692 per student, which is in line with the state average, and maintains relatively low student-teacher ratios.
