Summary:
Kennedale Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single high school, Kennedale High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a strong 94.6% four-year graduation rate, but its academic performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is mixed compared to district and state averages, with room for improvement, particularly in Algebra I.
Kennedale High School's dropout rate is relatively low at 0.8%, indicating that students are staying engaged and completing their high school education. However, the school's performance on STAAR EOC exams is below the state averages in several subjects, including Algebra I (30% vs. state 47.01%), English I Reading (50.18% vs. state 51.26%), and U.S. History (65.31% vs. state 67.94%). The school's student-teacher ratio of 15:1 suggests smaller class sizes, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning.
The Kennedale Independent School District as a whole is ranked 630 out of 961 districts in Texas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating that the district may face challenges in providing high-quality education to its students. Additionally, Kennedale High School has a relatively high percentage of students (48.06%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which is an important contextual factor to consider when analyzing the school's performance.
