Summary:
The four public schools in zip code 75941, all part of the Diboll Independent School District (Isd), serve 1,573 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in Diboll, Texas, a community where nearly 70% of students are economically disadvantaged.
Diboll High School is the district's standout, boasting a 99.2% graduation rate and a 0.4% dropout rate. It is the only school showing a clear upward trend in state rankings, jumping from the 43rd to the 62nd percentile, and it outperforms state averages in Algebra I, Biology, and English I. In contrast, H G Temple Intermediate (grades 3-5) is the lowest-performing school, with its state rank dropping to the 31st percentile and proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th-grade reading and math falling 10 to 25 points below state averages. Diboll J H presents a mixed picture: its 8th graders taking Algebra I achieve a remarkable 70.83% proficiency rate, far exceeding the state average, yet its 6th and 7th-grade math scores are very low. H G Temple Elementary (PK-2) has the highest spending per student ($12,626) and the highest economic disadvantage rate (75.47%), but lacks recent test score data to evaluate its performance.
A key takeaway is the "leaky pipeline" from elementary to high school. While the high school excels, the intermediate and middle school grades show significant academic struggles, suggesting students fall behind in the early grades and the system struggles to catch them up. The high school's dramatic 42.8 percentage point jump in Algebra I proficiency from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026 is a remarkable turnaround worth investigating. Finally, spending does not directly correlate with performance, as the highest-spending school serves the youngest students, while the best academic outcomes are at the lower-spending high school.
