Summary

Ricardo L Trevino J H is a small middle school in Taft, TX, serving 173 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Taft Independent School District (Isd). The school faces significant challenges, with 86.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and its overall academic performance has been on a steady decline over the past five years, now ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools.

Despite these struggles, Trevino J H has a few notable bright spots. The school boasts a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.5:1, which is even lower than high-performing nearby schools like Gregory-Portland Middle (15.1:1) and Baker Middle (16.1:1), suggesting potential for personalized attention. Additionally, the school excels in Algebra I, with 56.52% of students proficient on the End-of-Course exam—above the state average of 54.03% and far exceeding its own district average of 26.76%. However, this success is not reflected in other subjects; for example, only 5.88% of 8th graders were proficient in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 47.24% and Gregory-Portland Middle's 60.74%. This creates a stark "Algebra I oasis" in an otherwise struggling math program.

The school also spends a substantial $14,215 per student, significantly more than nearby schools like Baker Middle ($6,285) and Gregory-Portland Middle ($10,783), yet this high investment has not translated into broad academic gains. A concerning 1.5% dropout rate for a middle school is notably higher than most nearby schools, many of which report 0.0%. While the school's special education subgroup showed a spike to the 63rd percentile in one year, this performance has been inconsistent. For parents, Trevino J H offers a small, intimate environment with a strong Algebra I program for advanced students, but the overall declining trajectory and high dropout rate suggest the school needs targeted interventions to better support all its students.
