Summary

Coleman J H in Coleman, TX, is a small middle school serving 233 students in grades 5 through 8 within the Coleman Independent School District (Isd), and it has shown a remarkable turnaround over the past six years, climbing from the 36th percentile statewide to the 63rd percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. This sustained improvement suggests the school has implemented effective, long-term strategies that are paying off, and it now consistently earns 3-star ratings, with a peak 4-star rating in 2022-2023. One of the school's standout features is its strong mathematics performance in upper grades, with 57.81% of 8th graders proficient in math, significantly outpacing the nearby Bangs Middle (41.3%) and the state average (47.24%). However, this math strength does not extend to 5th grade, where proficiency has been well below state averages, indicating a potential curriculum gap that is successfully addressed in later grades.

Compared to Bangs Middle, Coleman J H offers a more favorable learning environment with a student-teacher ratio of 10.9:1 versus 14.8:1, supported by slightly higher per-student spending ($9,651 vs. $9,536). The school also serves a notably different socioeconomic population, with only 37.77% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch compared to 70.15% at Bangs Middle, and this percentage has been steadily declining from 55.56% just two years prior. In reading, Coleman shows more consistent performance across all grades, with proficiency ranging from 40.68% to 58.46% in 2025-2026, while Bangs Middle had a wider variance, including a standout 69.09% in 6th-grade reading.

An interesting finding is that Coleman J H maintains an exceptionally low dropout rate, with four of the last five years at 0.0%, reflecting a supportive environment that retains students through middle school. The school also shows strength in serving its Hispanic student population, who ranked in the 72nd percentile statewide in 2025-2026, though performance for other student groups is more variable. Overall, Coleman J H is a school on an upward trajectory, with strong math outcomes in upper grades, consistent reading scores, and a declining economic need that may be contributing to its academic improvement.
