Summary:
The Kenedy Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates three schools: Kenedy Elementary, Kenedy High School, and Kenedy Middle. The district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with all three schools having high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Based on the data, there are no clear standout schools in the Kenedy ISD, as all three schools have relatively low performance compared to state averages. The elementary and middle schools are ranked in the bottom quartile of their respective school types in Texas, with proficiency rates on STAAR tests well below the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, Kenedy Elementary's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 28.3% compared to the state average of 52.02%. Similarly, Kenedy High School struggles, with only 18.18% of students proficient in Algebra I EOC exams in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 47.01%.
The Kenedy ISD as a whole is ranked 734 out of 961 districts in Texas and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, placing the district in the bottom quartile of performance in the state. This consistent pattern of low performance across all three schools suggests systemic challenges within the district that need to be addressed, likely related to the high levels of economic disadvantage among the student population.
