Summary

A C Jones High School is a public high school located in Beeville, Texas, serving 1,021 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Beeville Independent School District, which is ranked 694 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past 10 years, A C Jones High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating the school is performing below the state average. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing well, ranking in the top 25% of Texas high schools in recent years, while Hispanic and White students have struggled, ranking in the bottom half of the state. The school's STAAR EOC test scores are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas, and the dropout rate remains higher than the state average, at 0.7% in 2022-2023, despite the school's four-year graduation rate improving to 94% in the same year.

Compared to the nearby Pettus Secondary and Skidmore-Tynan High School, A C Jones High School performs significantly worse on most metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratios. The school's very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, over 80%, indicates that poverty is a significant challenge for the school community, which likely contributes to the school's overall academic performance and may require targeted interventions and support.
