Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 75956, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in the Kirbyville Consolidated Independent School District, offer a mixed picture of academic performance in a community where over half of students face economic challenges.
Kirbyville J H is the standout performer, earning a 3-star rating and showing a remarkable 20-percentile ranking jump to the 61st percentile. Its Algebra I program is exceptional, with 100% of 8th graders achieving proficiency for two consecutive years, far exceeding state averages. Kirbyville High School provides steady, reliable performance with a 94.7% graduation rate and strong results in Biology and English I Reading, outperforming the state in those subjects. However, Kirbyville Elementary faces the most significant challenges, with the lowest state ranking (36th percentile) and the highest rate of economically disadvantaged students (60.64%). Its math scores decline sharply as students progress, dropping from 45.95% proficiency in 3rd grade to just 27.2% in 5th grade.
A notable finding is the district's unusual spending pattern: the high school receives $12,045 per student, 37% more than the elementary school's $8,765, despite the elementary school's greater needs. Additionally, U.S. History is a district-wide weakness, with both the middle school (15.32% proficient) and high school (50.52% proficient) scoring well below state averages. While the middle school excels in advanced math and the high school shines in key subjects, the elementary school's declining math performance and the secondary schools' struggles with history highlight clear areas for targeted improvement across the district.
