Kermit J H consistently performs below the state average on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests, with proficiency rates in reading, math, science, and social studies significantly lower than the state averages. The school's academic performance has been stagnant over the years, and it ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools. Additionally, Kermit J H's performance is below the district average, indicating that the school is struggling compared to other schools within the Kermit Independent School District.

The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 76.61% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's dropout rate is low, the high student-teacher ratio and the increase in spending per student over the years suggest that Kermit J H may be facing challenges in effectively allocating its resources to support student learning. Addressing the unique needs of the school's diverse student population, including the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, could be crucial for improving student outcomes.
