Summary

Kountze Intermediate in Kountze, TX, serves 257 students in grades 3 through 5 within the Kountze Independent School District (Isd), a small school where a significant majority of students are economically disadvantaged.

Kountze Intermediate stands out for its consistent, stable academic performance, earning a 3-star rating for six consecutive years—a stark contrast to nearby schools like Ignite Community School - Beaumont, which has seen ratings swing from 0 to 3 stars. The school excels in 5th Grade Science, with 38.82% of students proficient in 2024-2025, significantly outperforming the state average of 29.57% and nearby West Hardin Elementary (10.2%) and Fred Elementary (20.83%). It also competes effectively with the higher-resourced Lumberton Intermediate, outperforming it in 3rd Grade Reading (56.88% vs. 53.17%) and 3rd Grade Math (49.54% vs. 45.23%). However, a persistent challenge is 5th Grade Math, where scores have consistently fallen below the state average for four years, reaching a low of 28.92% in 2023-2024.

Notably, Kountze Intermediate has shown a dramatic turnaround for African American students, who improved from the 10th percentile (1-star) in 2023-2024 to the 57th percentile (3-star) in 2025-2026, suggesting effective recent interventions. The school also demonstrates a clear strength in early-grade math, with 3rd graders beating the state average, but a significant weakness in later-grade math, indicating a need for sustained support as students progress. Compared to Evadale Elementary, which serves a wealthier student body and has higher district spending, Kountze’s scores are lower, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic factors on academic outcomes.
