Summary

Kilgore Intermediate in Kilgore, TX, serves 531 students in grades 4 and 5 within the Kilgore Independent School District (Isd), a mid-sized school in a region where many families face economic challenges. The school has shown a steady climb from a 1-star rating to a consistent 2-star rating over the past five years, placing it in the 35th percentile statewide—a middle-of-the-pack performer in a low-performing area, similar to nearby schools in Overton Independent School District (Isd) and West Rusk County Consolidated Independent School District (, but significantly behind higher-ranked schools like Parkway Elementary (71st percentile) and Ned E Williams Elementary (61st percentile).

The most remarkable story at Kilgore Intermediate is its dramatic turnaround for special education students, who jumped from the 5th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 53rd percentile in 2025-2026—a 48-point improvement that no other nearby school can match. This success suggests targeted interventions are working and could serve as a model for other areas. However, math remains a persistent weakness, with only 31.56% of 5th graders proficient compared to the state average of 47.38%, and Spanish-language math tests showing 0% proficiency. In contrast, 5th grade reading is a bright spot, with 53.1% proficient, close to the state benchmark. The school also operates on a notably low budget of $8,895 per student, far less than peers like West Rusk Intermediate ($11,834) or Overton Elementary ($12,151), making its achievements even more impressive.

For parents, this school offers a stable, improving environment with a clear focus on reading and a standout special education program, but math instruction needs attention. The school has lifted itself out of the bottom tier and maintained a 2-star rating for five years, yet it appears to have hit a plateau. To reach the next level, it must address chronic math deficiencies and better support all student groups, particularly those currently performing below the school average. Overall, Kilgore Intermediate is a school that is making progress with limited resources, and its special education success story is a testament to what focused effort can achieve.
