Summary

Mexia J H is a middle school located in Mexia, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 391 students. It is part of the Mexia Independent School District, which is ranked 887 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mexia J H consistently underperforms compared to the state average on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades was 33.05%, 24.17%, and 29.91%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 54.21%, 51.69%, and 56.39%. The school also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 0.4% to 3.2% in recent years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, Mexia J H has a high percentage of students (over 80%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Mexia J H's performance is generally lower than the state and nearby schools, such as Fairfield J H, Teague J H, Groesbeck Middle, and Wortham Middle, the school's performance for Gifted and Talented students is an outlier, with the school ranking in the top half of Texas middle schools in this category for the 2021-2022 school year. This suggests that the school may be providing effective support for its high-achieving students, despite its overall academic challenges.
