Summary:
The Kirbyville Consolidated Independent School District is home to a single middle school, Kirbyville J H, which serves grades 6 through 8 and has an enrollment of 326 students. Located in a community where half of the students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, the school maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and a very low dropout rate of 0.4%, indicating strong student support systems despite economic challenges.
Kirbyville J H shows standout performance in advanced mathematics, with 100% of Algebra I End-of-Course (EOC) test-takers achieving proficiency in both the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years—far exceeding district and state averages. The school has also demonstrated impressive improvement in its statewide ranking, climbing from the 41st percentile (2 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 61st percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026, a jump of 20 percentile points. However, performance is uneven across subjects: while 8th-grade math (66.17% proficient) and 6th-grade math (48.42%) beat state averages, 7th-grade math proficiency (24.14%) is a notable weakness, falling below the state average of 29.41%. Social Studies is a consistent challenge, with only 15.32% of 8th graders proficient in 2025-2026, roughly half the state average.
Reading scores show a positive trend, with 7th-grade reading (60.4%) jumping above the state average (54.04%) in 2025-2026, while 6th and 8th-grade reading are closer to or below state benchmarks. The school’s high 8th-grade math score is likely influenced by advanced students taking the Algebra I EOC instead of the standard test, making the remaining cohort’s performance even more noteworthy. Overall, Kirbyville J H offers a mixed but improving academic profile, with clear strengths in advanced math and a rising state ranking, alongside targeted areas for growth in 7th-grade math and Social Studies.
