Summary

Iago J H is a small middle school in Boling, TX, serving 264 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Boling Independent School District (Isd), and it has a strong track record of keeping every student on track with a 0.0% dropout rate over the past five years.

The school’s most impressive strength is its Algebra I program: a remarkable 94.74% of students passed the End-of-Course exam, far exceeding the state average of 54% and rivaling top regional performers like Needville J H (95.45%) and East Bernard J H (88.89%). However, this success creates a "tale of two math programs," as grade-level math proficiency lags significantly—only 29.17% of 8th graders were proficient, which is 18 points below the state average. On a positive note, the school has a hidden strength in 8th-grade Social Studies, where it has historically matched or exceeded state averages. Compared to its closest neighbor, Wharton J H (which ranks in the 16th percentile), Iago J H provides a much stronger educational foundation, with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.6:1 that allows for more personalized attention.

Despite these bright spots, the school faces significant challenges. Its effectiveness with students from low socio-economic backgrounds has dropped sharply, falling from the 61st percentile to the 34th percentile in just one year, coinciding with a rapid increase in the free/reduced lunch rate to 61.17%. The school also struggles to support its most vulnerable learners, ranking in the 2nd percentile for African American students and the 8th percentile for English Language Learners. Iago J H is at a crossroads: it has proven it can achieve excellence in specific areas, but its future success depends on translating that success into broader math achievement and building stronger support systems for all its students.
