Summary:
Woden Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single middle school, Woden J H, which enrolls 194 students in grades 6 through 8 and is located in a small, rural Texas community where over 61% of students are economically disadvantaged.
Woden J H is a standout for its exceptional mathematics program, particularly in 7th and 8th grades. In the 2025-2026 school year, 8th graders achieved a 75.86% proficiency rate in math, far exceeding the state average of 47.24%, while 7th graders posted a 50.77% proficiency rate against a state average of 29.41%. The school’s Algebra I End-of-Course exam performance is a highlight, with 90% of test-takers scoring proficient—well above both the state (54.03%) and district (64.18%) averages. This suggests a highly effective math pipeline that accelerates students who may start behind. The 8th-grade class also outperforms state averages in Reading (66.13% vs. 58.69%) and Social Studies (32.26% vs. 31.69%), making it the strongest grade level overall. The school maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 12.2, a 0% dropout rate, and has earned a 4-star rating and a ranking in the top 30% of Texas middle schools for three consecutive years.
While math is a clear strength, reading scores are more mixed: 6th-grade reading (52.11%) slightly trails the state average (53.52%), though 7th and 8th-grade reading exceed it. This indicates a potential need for targeted reading support for incoming 6th graders. Social Studies performance is consistently above average, and the school’s spending per student is $9,258. Overall, Woden J H provides a stable, high-quality education that effectively overcomes economic challenges, especially in mathematics, making it a solid choice for families in the Woden Independent School District (Isd).
