Summary

Mission J H is a middle school in Mission, TX, serving 711 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Mission Consolidated Independent School District, a district ranked in the 50th percentile statewide. The school has a high percentage of students from low socio-economic backgrounds, with over 74% qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Mission J H shows a striking contrast in its academic performance. On one hand, it excels in Algebra I, with 100% of test-takers proficient in the most recent year, far surpassing the district average of 36.51% and the state average of 54.03%. This is a consistent strength, on par with top-performing nearby schools like B L Gray J H and Sharyland North J H. However, the school struggles significantly in 7th-grade mathematics, where only 2.63% of students were proficient, a dramatic drop from 29.73% the previous year and far below the state average of 29.41%. This is the lowest score among its immediate peers, including Alton Memorial J H (3.11% proficient). The school also serves its Special Education students exceptionally well, ranking in the 63rd percentile statewide, but has seen a decline in performance for its Hispanic student population, dropping from the 66th to the 55th percentile.

Compared to other schools in the district, Mission J H is the top-performing middle school, consistently outperforming Rafael A Cantu J H and Alton Memorial J H. Its closest competitor, White J H, has shown a stronger upward trend, improving from the 38th to the 51st percentile over three years, while Mission J H has stagnated. Out-of-district schools like Memorial Middle (La Joya ISD) and B L Gray J H (Sharyland ISD) achieve significantly higher proficiency rates in reading and math across all grades, highlighting the competitive disadvantage Mission J H faces. The school spends $10,993 per student, less than many lower-performing peers but more than the highest-performing nearby school, B L Gray J H ($10,103), suggesting that instructional strategy and student support, particularly in mathematics, are key areas for improvement.
