Summary

Eugene 'gene' Kranz J H is a public middle school located in Dickinson, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 993 students. The school is part of the Dickinson Independent School District, which is ranked 467 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has shown a mixed performance in academic metrics, with strong results in Algebra I end-of-course exams and for certain student subgroups, such as Asian and special education students. However, the school's 6th and 7th-grade students have performed below the district and state averages in mathematics. Compared to nearby middle schools, Eugene 'gene' Kranz J H generally outperforms the Dickinson and Texas City schools but lags behind the higher-performing middle schools in the Clear Creek Independent School District, such as League City Intermediate and Seabrook Intermediate.

The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranging from 62.62% to 74.42% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to some of the academic challenges the school faces. While the school's relatively higher spending per student ($10,579 in 2020-2021) suggests an investment in supporting its students, more targeted interventions may be needed to address the specific needs of its population.
