Summary

Jarrell Middle in Jarrell, TX, serves 899 students in grades 6-8 within the Jarrell Independent School District (Isd), a community where about 63% of students are economically disadvantaged. The school's overall performance places it in the bottom 30% of Texas middle schools, though it has shown a slight upward trend over the past few years, moving from the 19th to the 30th percentile. This is a significant contrast to nearby schools like Douglas Benold Middle (82nd percentile) and Holland Middle (84th percentile), which are much higher-performing.

A critical area of concern is mathematics proficiency, which is consistently below state averages. For example, only about 25% of 6th graders and 23% of 8th graders are proficient in math, compared to state averages of 39% and 47%, respectively. However, there is a notable bright spot: students who take Algebra I perform exceptionally well, with 75% scoring proficient—far above the state average of 54%. This suggests the school effectively accelerates its top math students, even as the general math population struggles. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio (16.9:1) and lower spending per student ($9,802) compared to peers like Holland Middle (10.3:1 ratio and $13,892 per student), which may contribute to its challenges.

Despite these difficulties, there are encouraging signs. Special Education students saw a dramatic improvement, jumping from the 4th percentile to the 43rd percentile in the most recent year. Additionally, the school has shown consistent, modest improvement in its overall ranking over the last three years. While the school faces significant hurdles, particularly in math and with limited resources, the recent positive trends and strong performance in advanced math courses offer a cautiously optimistic outlook for families considering this school.

I cannot wait to move out if Jarrell, mainly to remove my child from Jarrell Middle School. The bulling is overrated, the teachers are burnt out by the students regardless on how much effort they put trying to hide it behind emails it unfolds. If your child is a bully this school is perfect for them! They can go around picking on all the students and God forbid the other student fights back EVEN after informing staff they will be punished as well. Just like mass punishment. All they care about is their numbers for funding. They will over look Covid-19 circumstances, threaten the parent with court if the student does not make up the time. The irony is how the nurse instructs for the student to stay home for fourteen days then uses the "we have no record" as a defense mechanism in order to push for make up time. I have only come across three staff members that actually care the rest are a waste! So good luck if you enroll your children at Jarrell Middles School it won't be long until your child comes home complaining or you get an email from the unprofessional staff members. Close Quote

This school suffers from poor top down leadership. I got along splendidly with the elementary and intermediate school but here I feel like I am having to constantly defend my children from the school itself, it is exhausting. The rating for this district as a whole has literally plummeted since we moved here about 5 years ago and this school leads the pack. The stats speak for themselves. We are seriously considering leaving. Close Quote
