Summary

Kirbyville High School is a mid-sized rural high school in East Texas serving 427 students in grades 9-12 within the Kirbyville Consolidated Independent School District, where nearly half of students are economically disadvantaged and the school maintains a favorable 11.5:1 student-to-teacher ratio.

Kirbyville consistently outperforms its closest comparable schools—Jasper High School, Newton High School, and Buna High School—on core STAAR exams, posting the highest proficiency rates in Algebra I (51%), Biology (71%), English I Reading (65%), and English II Reading (57%). However, U.S. History remains a notable weakness, with only 51% proficiency compared to the state average of 70%, while nearby Buna High School excels in this subject at 72%. The school also demonstrates strong financial efficiency, spending $12,045 per student—significantly less than Newton ($17,529) and Spurger High School ($13,827)—while achieving better overall outcomes than its higher-spending neighbors.

Kirbyville’s most outstanding feature is its Gifted and Talented program, which ranks in the 97th percentile statewide with a 5-star rating, a stark contrast to its overall 2-star rating. The school also shows rapid improvement in supporting Special Education students (jumping from the 12th to 70th percentile) and English Language Learners (from the 12th to 65th percentile). While the school boasts an excellent graduation rate above 94% and a very low dropout rate of 0.2%, this success in keeping students in school does not fully translate into high academic proficiency on state tests, suggesting a focus on completion alongside a need for deeper content mastery. Nearby Spurger High School, though smaller, outperforms Kirbyville in Biology (83% vs. 71%) and English exams, offering a potential model for improvement.
