Breckenridge J H

Breckenridge J H is a middle school in Breckenridge, TX, serving 278 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Breckenridge Independent School District (Isd).

This school has undergone a remarkable turnaround over the past decade, climbing from the bottom half of Texas middle schools to a solidly above-average performer, now ranking in the 65th percentile statewide. Its standout strength is mathematics: an exceptional 94.44% of 8th graders taking Algebra I passed the end-of-course exam, far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. This isn't a one-year fluke—the school has consistently outperformed the state by 40 percentage points or more in advanced math for three years running. On-grade-level math scores are also strong, with 6th graders achieving 57.95% proficiency versus the state's 38.57%. However, the school has a notable weakness in 8th-grade social studies, where only 24.36% of students are proficient, below the state average of 31.69%. The school also serves its Hispanic students exceptionally well, ranking in the 84th percentile for that subgroup, while support for English Language Learners has been volatile, swinging from the 88th to the 13th percentile in recent years.

With a low student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1 and per-student spending of $8,208, the school provides small class sizes that likely support its strong math performance and a dropout rate that has remained at or near 0.0% in recent years. There are no other schools within 20 miles of Breckenridge J H for direct comparison, but its consistent upward trend and exceptional math outcomes make it a standout choice for families prioritizing STEM education in a small, supportive environment.
