Kemp Intermediate

Public Grades 2-3
Summary

Kemp Intermediate is an elementary school in Kemp, Texas, serving grades 3-5 with 382 students. The school is part of the Kemp Independent School District, which is ranked 720 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kemp Intermediate faces several challenges, including a higher percentage of White students (55.24%) compared to the state average, and lower test scores in reading, math, and science than the state averages, particularly in 5th-grade science proficiency (18.12% vs. 26.29% statewide). The school also has a high percentage of students (78.8%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage. Despite spending more per student ($10,510 in 2020-2021) than the state average, Kemp Intermediate's performance has declined over the past few years, dropping from a 3-star rating to a 2-star rating.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Malakoff Independent School District and Kaufman Independent School District generally outperform Kemp Intermediate on key metrics, such as test scores, school rankings, and free and reduced-price lunch rates. This suggests that factors beyond just economic disadvantage may be contributing to Kemp Intermediate's lower performance, and the school could benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices and targeted interventions for its underperforming student subgroups.
