Summary

Judson Middle in Converse, TX, is a large public school serving 1,189 students in grades 6-8 within the Judson Independent School District (Isd), a district that ranks in the bottom 21st percentile statewide, and where over 73% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school is in a state of crisis, marked by a rapid and severe decline in academic performance. Its state ranking has plummeted from the 44th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 6th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 0-star rating. The most critical issue is catastrophic math scores, with proficiency rates in the single digits (around 8-9%) across all grade levels—roughly one-quarter of the state average. While reading performance has been inconsistent, the school shows a remarkable "bright spot" in its advanced courses: Algebra I and Biology End-of-Course (EOC) exam proficiency rates (45.45% and 83.33%, respectively) significantly exceed district averages. This creates a "two schools" phenomenon where advanced-track students thrive while the general student body struggles. Notably, every demographic subgroup received a 0-star rating, indicating systemic failure, though the school maintains a very low dropout rate (0.4%).

Compared to nearby schools, the contrast is stark. Just 1.14 miles away, Randolph Middle is a 5-star school in the 97th percentile with proficiency rates in the 80%+ range, serving a very different demographic (only 7.74% low-income). Meanwhile, Kitty Hawk Middle (same district, 2.5 miles away) has improved from the 39th to the 57th percentile over the same period. The urgent need is for a comprehensive intervention strategy that addresses the systemic low performance in core subjects for the general student population, while understanding and replicating the successful practices clearly in place for its advanced-track students.
