Summary:
In zip code 75956, there is one middle school, Kirbyville J H, serving grades 6 through 8 in the Kirbyville Consolidated Independent School District with a total enrollment of 326 students.
Kirbyville J H shows a strong upward trend in its state ranking, moving from the 41st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 61st percentile (3 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year. The school has a favorable 12:1 student-teacher ratio and a very low dropout rate of 0.4%. Half of the students are economically disadvantaged, and the school spends $10,204 per student. The most impressive standout is the 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I STAAR EOC exam for both the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years, far exceeding state averages. However, the school presents a "math paradox" where 7th-grade math proficiency is a low 24.14%, while 8th-grade math proficiency is a strong 66.17%, suggesting the 8th-grade cohort is exceptionally strong or the curriculum is more effective at that level.
A clear academic weakness is 8th-grade Social Studies, with only 15.32% proficiency—less than half the state average of 31.69%. On a positive note, the school shows tangible year-over-year improvement in several areas, such as 7th-grade Reading jumping from 47.66% to 60.4%. With its small size and low student-teacher ratio, Kirbyville J H appears to leverage its environment to create pockets of excellence, particularly in advanced math, while facing challenges in subjects like Social Studies that may need targeted intervention.
