Summary

Jefferies J H in Comanche, TX, is a rural middle school serving 295 students in grades 6-8 within the Comanche Independent School District (Isd), and it has shown a remarkable turnaround from a 1-star rating six years ago to a current 3-star rating, ranking in the 64th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of English Language Learners (ELL), ranking in the 97th percentile statewide in the 2025-2026 school year—a dramatic improvement that far outpaces nearby schools like Dublin Intermediate and Perkins Middle. Jefferies J H also excels in 8th Grade Social Studies, with 38.54% of students proficient compared to 35% at Perkins Middle and 31.69% statewide, and it effectively prepares students for advanced math, with 75.76% of 8th graders proficient in Algebra I—well above the state average of 54.03%. However, the school faces a significant challenge in 7th Grade Math, where only 7.41% of students were proficient, a steep drop from 6th grade performance and far below the state average of 29.41%. This "7th Grade Math Wall" is a critical area for improvement.

While Jefferies J H has a strong record of student retention with a 0.0% dropout rate in recent years, its performance across other subgroups is inconsistent. For example, effectiveness with White students dropped from the 73rd percentile in 2024 to the 34th percentile in 2026, and Special Education results have fluctuated widely. Compared to Perkins Middle, which ranks higher overall (83rd percentile), Jefferies J H holds unique advantages in Social Studies and Algebra I acceleration, suggesting specialized strengths even as it works to stabilize core instruction. The school’s favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 12.3:1 supports its ongoing efforts to build on its dramatic turnaround.
