Summary

Ganado Junior High is a small school in Ganado, TX, serving 170 students in grades 6-8 within the Ganado Independent School District (Isd), a district with a 3-star rating and a moderate level of economic disadvantage, where just over half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school is a study in contrasts, with standout strengths and notable weaknesses. Its advanced math program is exceptional: 90.48% of students taking Algebra I were proficient, far exceeding the state average of 54.03% and matching top performers like Industrial J H. However, 7th-grade math is a critical concern, with only 4.76% of students proficient—the lowest rate among nearby schools like El Campo Middle and Louise J H. The school also excels with Gifted & Talented students (76th percentile statewide) but struggles significantly with Special Education students (4th percentile). Compared to Industrial J H, a top-performing school nearby, Ganado matches in Algebra I but lags in core subjects like 8th-grade math (46.55% vs. 84.21%) and science (24.53% vs. 79.49%).

On a positive note, Ganado has shown a promising upward trend, jumping from the 35th to the 50th percentile in overall ranking in the 2025-2026 school year, earning its first 3-star rating since 2017-2018. The school also maintains a 0.0% dropout rate, a consistent strength. The challenge ahead is to replicate the success of its advanced math program across all grades and subjects, particularly for 7th-grade math and Special Education students, to ensure every student benefits from the school’s recent improvements.
