The school has been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger for the past few years, indicating below-average performance compared to other Texas middle schools.

Bailey J H faces several challenges, including low overall academic performance, particularly in mathematics, and high dropout rates ranging from 1.6% to 3.6% in recent years. The school's STAAR test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with only 42.58% of 7th graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading and 31.97% of 8th graders proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics in 2024-2025.
