Summary

Lockney J H is a middle school located in Lockney, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 88 students. It is part of the Lockney Independent School District, which is ranked 763 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Lockney J H has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 1500-2200 out of around 2300 schools.

Lockney J H's student performance on STAAR tests is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 36.67% of 6th graders were proficient in reading and math, compared to the state averages of 54.21% and 37.68%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas middle schools for Hispanic students and low socioeconomic status students in both reading and math in 2022-2023. However, Lockney J H has maintained a relatively low dropout rate, ranging from 0.0% to 0.4% over the past few years, which is better than the state average.

Despite the low student performance, Lockney J H spends significantly more per student ($13,834 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, which may indicate higher resource allocation. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.2 to 11.6 over the past few years, lower than the nearby Plainview schools. While the nearby Plainview schools also perform below the state average, they generally outperform Lockney J H on key metrics, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Lockney J H to learn from their practices and strategies.
