Summary

Kountze High School is a small, rural high school in Kountze, TX, serving 328 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Kountze Independent School District (Isd).

One of the school’s biggest strengths is its exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.3:1, which is the lowest among nearby schools like Lumberton High School (14.6:1) and Hardin-Jefferson High School (14.3:1). This suggests your child could receive a lot of individualized attention. Academically, the school shines in Algebra I, where proficiency rates have consistently matched or exceeded the state average and far outperformed schools like Silsbee High School (12.7% proficiency). However, the school struggles in Biology and U.S. History, where proficiency lags behind state averages. There is also a notable and growing performance gap between female and male students, with female students ranking in the 49th percentile and male students in the 24th percentile in the most recent data.

While the school invests heavily in staffing, its overall academic rank (35th percentile) is lower than more affluent neighbors like Lumberton (80th percentile), which spends less per student. A major concern is the dramatic decline in performance for Gifted and Talented students, who dropped from the 82nd percentile to the 3rd percentile in just a few years. Support for Special Education and low-income students has also been inconsistent. On a positive note, the graduation rate has remained stable and high, between 88% and 93% over the last five years, indicating the school is effective at keeping students on track to earn a diploma.
