Summary:
The Kingsville Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly low-income population, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all schools.
Among the standout schools, Gillett Middle School excels in Algebra I End of Course (EOC) exams, with 50% of students proficient in 2024-2025, far exceeding the district and state averages. Harrel Elementary also performs relatively well in 3rd and 4th grade math, but struggles in 5th grade science. Overall, the district's schools consistently underperform compared to state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates often less than half the state's, suggesting systemic challenges that need to be addressed.
The data also reveals some concerning trends, such as low graduation rates and high dropout rates at H.M. King High School. Additionally, the district's per-student spending ranges from $9,775 at Perez Elementary to $12,026 at H.M. King High, suggesting potential resource disparities. Addressing these challenges and leveraging the strengths of standout schools like Gillett Middle will be crucial for the Kingsville ISD to improve student outcomes across the district.
