Summary:
Zip code 75941 (Diboll, TX) is served by two elementary schools within the Diboll Independent School District (Isd), which together form a single educational pipeline for grades PK-5: H G Temple Elementary (grades PK-2) and H G Temple Intermediate (grades 3-5).
Both schools serve a high-poverty community, with an average free/reduced lunch rate of 73.01%, and they spend well above the national average per student ($12,039 combined). H G Temple Intermediate provides the only standardized test scores, revealing a mixed academic picture. A standout strength is 5th grade performance: in Reading, 59.34% of students were proficient (above the state average of 58.47%), and in Science, 35.29% were proficient (well above the state average of 29.57%). However, 4th grade Mathematics is a critical weakness, with only 24.49% proficient—less than half the state average of 49.28%. Overall, the school underperforms the state in five of six tested subjects. H G Temple Elementary lacks recent test scores, but its state ranking has fluctuated significantly over the past decade, making it difficult to assess foundational learning in grades PK-2.
Key takeaways include a "5th Grade Bounce," where scores jump significantly in both Reading and Math compared to earlier grades, suggesting effective upper-grade instruction. Conversely, a "4th Grade Math Cliff" highlights a specific instructional breakdown. Despite high per-student spending, academic outcomes remain below state averages, pointing to potential inefficiencies in resource allocation. Both schools maintain favorable student-teacher ratios (13.7:1 at Elementary, 11.9:1 at Intermediate), which may support individualized attention but has not yet translated into consistently strong results.
