Summary

Mabank J H in Mabank, TX, serves 652 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Mabank Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 66th percentile statewide. The school has a history of strong performance but recently dropped from a 4-star to a 3-star rating, with its overall state ranking falling from the 73rd to the 59th percentile.

The school’s standout strength is its exceptional Algebra I program, where 97.4% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—far exceeding the state average of 54%. This is a major asset compared to nearby schools like Canton J H (100% proficient, but with a smaller sample) and Eustace Middle (90.32%). However, this success contrasts sharply with 7th-grade math, where only 26.17% of students were proficient—below the state average. The school also excels in supporting Special Education (83rd percentile) and English Language Learner (80th percentile) students, a clear differentiator from lower-performing peers like Kemp J H (14th percentile overall).

Compared to regional competitors, Mabank J H shows a mixed picture. It significantly outperforms Kemp J H in every subject but trails Canton J H in 8th-grade math (62.5% vs. 75.57%) and reading (47.2% vs. 72.67%). The school’s high poverty rate (69.17% free/reduced lunch) adds context, yet it performs well for low-income students (61st percentile). The primary challenge is addressing the persistent 7th-grade math slump to reverse the recent decline and compete more effectively with rising peers like Eustace Middle.
