Haskell J H

Haskell J H is a small middle school in Haskell, TX, serving just 111 students in grades 6-8 as part of the high-performing Haskell Consolidated Independent School District. With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.5:1 and a perfect zero percent dropout rate for five consecutive years, this school offers a highly personalized learning environment that keeps every student engaged through the critical middle school years.

Haskell J H stands out as a reading powerhouse, consistently outperforming nearby Stamford Middle in reading proficiency across all three grade levels. In the most recent data, Haskell’s 6th, 7th, and 8th graders scored 62.5%, 55%, and 69.23% proficient in reading, respectively, while Stamford’s scores were significantly lower. The school also shows remarkable efficiency, spending $12,756 per student—nearly $2,000 less than Stamford Middle—yet achieving a higher overall state ranking (79th percentile vs. Stamford’s 57th percentile). One of the school’s biggest strengths is its exceptional support for male students, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide, though there is room for improvement with female students (64th percentile).

While Haskell J H excels in reading, its math performance has been more volatile, though recent data shows a strong rebound, especially in 8th grade (64.29% proficient). The school has also made dramatic progress in serving its Hispanic students, jumping from the 32nd percentile to the 79th percentile in just two years. However, a key area of concern is that despite the school’s overall high ranking, it ranks only in the 37th percentile for low socio-economic status students, who make up nearly 70% of the student body. This suggests that while the school achieves excellent results overall, there is significant work to be done to ensure all students are equally supported.
