Summary:
The Stratford Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single middle school, Stratford J H, which enrolls 137 students in grades 5 through 8 and is located in a small, rural community where 66.42% of students are economically disadvantaged.
Stratford J H shows a mixed performance profile with notable strengths and weaknesses. The school excels in 8th Grade Reading, where 66.67% of students were proficient in the most recent year, significantly outpacing the state average of 58.69%. However, a major area of concern is 7th Grade Mathematics, where only 10% of students achieved proficiency, compared to the state average of 29.41%. The school also experienced a dramatic swing in 8th Grade Social Studies, with proficiency dropping from 50% (well above the state average) to 27.27% (below the state average) between the two most recent school years, which may warrant further investigation. The school maintains a zero percent dropout rate and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.2, with spending per student at $12,690.
Overall, Stratford J H provides a stable learning environment with strong reading outcomes for older students, but struggles with inconsistent math performance, particularly in 7th grade. The district itself ranks in the 83rd percentile among Texas districts, though the school's own state ranking has slipped slightly to the 56th percentile in the most recent year. Parents should note that while the school invests heavily in resources and small class sizes, this has not yet translated into uniformly high test scores across all subjects and grade levels.
