Summary

Diboll J H is a middle school in Diboll, TX, serving 356 students in grades 6-8 within the Diboll Independent School District (Isd), located in a rural area where a significant majority of students are economically disadvantaged.

Diboll J H stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced mathematics, particularly in Algebra I. In the 2025-2026 school year, 70.83% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, well above the state average of 54.03% and outperforming many nearby schools like Lufkin Middle and Corrigan-Camden J H. The school also excels in 8th-grade mathematics, with 58.18% of students proficient, surpassing the state average by over 10 points. However, the school faces challenges in 6th and 7th grade math, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than state averages. The school benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1, which is smaller than many neighboring schools like Dr Terry Robbins Middle and Lufkin Middle, allowing for more individualized attention.

Diboll J H has shown positive momentum, earning a 3-star rating in 2025-2026 after a period of lower performance. The school has made notable improvements in 8th-grade reading and social studies, though social studies remains an area of volatility. A critical concern is the performance of Special Education students, who ranked in the 7th percentile statewide, indicating a need for immediate intervention. Additionally, the school's instructional strategies appear to be more effective for some student groups than others, with African American students ranking in the 67th percentile while White students ranked in the 41st percentile. Overall, Diboll J H is a school with strong advanced math programs and a supportive learning environment, but it must address significant gaps in early middle school math and support for special education students to ensure all students succeed.
