Summary

Friona J H is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Friona Independent School District (ISD) in Friona, TX, with 209 students. The school has consistently underperformed the state average on STAAR assessments across multiple grade levels and subjects, with only 4.17% of 6th graders proficient or better in STAAR Math compared to the state average of 37.68%. This trend is seen across other grade levels and subjects as well.

Friona J H also exhibits significant performance gaps between different student subgroups, with White students performing relatively well but Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students all ranking in the bottom 40-50% of Texas middle schools. The school's performance has declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from the top 50% in 2018-2019 to the bottom 30% in 2024-2025 projected scores. This suggests systemic challenges that the school needs to address.

The nearby Bovina Middle school, which is part of the Bovina Independent School District (ISD), also performs poorly, ranking in the bottom half of Texas middle schools. This indicates that the challenges faced by Friona J H may be reflective of broader issues in the region, and addressing these challenges should be a top priority for the school and district leadership.
