Summary

Malakoff J H in Malakoff, TX, is a small middle school serving 237 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Malakoff Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top third of Texas.

This school has experienced a dramatic decline in recent years, dropping from a 90th percentile ranking (5 stars) in 2021-2022 to a 40th percentile (2 stars) today. This is a sharp contrast to nearby Cross Roads J H, which has consistently ranked in the 92nd-94th percentile over the same period. Despite the overall drop, Malakoff J H has a standout Algebra I program, with 81.25% of students proficient in 2025-2026, far exceeding state averages. However, general math scores for 7th and 8th graders are below state averages, suggesting a focus on advanced students may be leaving others behind. A particularly unusual finding is a stark gender gap: male students rank in the 55th percentile, while female students rank in the 24th percentile—a divergence not seen in nearby schools like Mabank J H or Athens Middle.

The school has a history of excellence for at-risk and English Language Learner students, but this success is fading. A critical red flag is the underperformance of the Gifted and Talented program, which ranked in the 23rd percentile in 2025-2026. This suggests enrichment programs may not be effectively challenging high-ability students. While the school has the potential to reverse its trajectory, it requires strategic focus on closing the gender gap, improving general math instruction, and revitalizing its GT program to match the success of its Algebra I offerings.
