Summary:
The Kenedy Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to a single high school, Kenedy High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a performance rating of 1 out of 5 stars for the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years, improving to 2 out of 5 stars for the 2024-2025 school year.
Kenedy High School's academic performance is generally below the state average, with the exception of English II Reading. The school's lowest performance is in Algebra I, where only 18.18% of students were proficient or better in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state average of 47.01%. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 92.9%, slightly above the state average, and its dropout rate was 0.3%, relatively low.
The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 79.5% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $17,066 for the 2020-2021 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.7, the school has not yet seen significantly improved academic outcomes. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors and targeting specific areas of academic weakness, such as math instruction, may be key to improving the school's performance and ranking within the state.
