Summary

Jarrell High School in Jarrell, TX, serves 1,101 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Jarrell Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the bottom 13th percentile of Texas school districts. The school itself holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 32nd percentile statewide, with nearly 58% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting significant economic challenges in the area.

Academically, Jarrell High School struggles compared to nearby schools. Its overall performance is well below that of Salado High School (68th percentile) and Georgetown High School (73rd percentile). A persistent weakness is Algebra I, where only 38.2% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, far below the state average. However, the school excels in keeping students on track, with a 97% graduation rate and a 0.2% dropout rate—comparable to top performers like Salado. This suggests the school is effective at retaining students but may need to boost academic rigor. Notably, Jarrell shows a strength in serving African American students, who ranked in the 64th percentile statewide, but a concerning decline in serving Gifted and Talented students, who dropped from the 86th to the 11th percentile in recent years.

An interesting comparison is Holland High School, just 13.6 miles away, which achieves top-tier results (90th percentile) despite being smaller and spending more per student. Holland’s proficiency rates are nearly double or triple Jarrell’s in every subject, showing that different strategies can yield vastly different outcomes in the same region. For parents, Jarrell High School offers a supportive environment for graduation but faces clear challenges in academic achievement, particularly in math and for certain student groups.
