Summary

Jackie Doucet Caffey J H in Manvel, TX, is a middle school serving 540 students in grades 6-8 within the Alvin Independent School District (Isd), and it has shown a clear upward trend in its state ranking over the past five years, now earning a 3-star rating.

The school’s most standout feature is its exceptional Algebra I program, where 8th graders consistently achieve near-perfect proficiency rates (100% in 2025-2026), far exceeding the district average of 65.95% and outperforming nearby schools like Dr Ronald E McNair J H (98.95%) and Berry Miller J H (97.58%). However, this strength contrasts sharply with a significant weakness in 6th-grade math, where proficiency rates have been alarmingly low (11.21% in 2025-2026), well below the state average of 38.57%. This creates a "math paradox" where the school excels at accelerating top math students but struggles with foundational instruction. On a positive note, reading proficiency is a consistent strength across all grades, and the school has made notable gains in serving its African American students, who ranked in the 75th percentile statewide in 2025-2026. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio has improved to 14.7, lower than many peers like G W Harby J H (17.8) and Rodeo Palms J H (16.2), suggesting a focus on more individualized attention.

Compared to its neighbor Manvel J H, which ranks higher overall (77th percentile vs. 67th) and has fewer economically disadvantaged students, Caffey’s Algebra I program is superior, making it a strong draw for families seeking advanced math opportunities. The school is clearly on the rise, with consistent improvements in overall ranking and subgroup performance, though it faces challenges in 6th-grade math and a notable decline in Gifted and Talented student outcomes. For parents, this school offers a unique blend of world-class advanced math and solid reading instruction, but it may require extra support for students in early middle school math.

What people are saying

Saturday, January 28, 2023

Open Quote It’s really that sad that this nice brand new school in a nice neighborhood has terrible students and terrible admin. The current Principal, Dr. Hawks has an ego and is does put out what she promotes. She is condescending does nothing to help her staff. She literally told a first year that she wouldn’t bring them back because they were having trouble with classroom management. That teacher did also ask for help several times and did not receive it. What kind of principal does that? It is her first year doing middle school and she is failing miserably. Four teachers quit before January of this year. If that isn’t a wake up call, I don’t know what is. Close Quote
