Summary:
In zip code 76834, there is one middle school, Coleman J H, serving grades 5 through 8 in Coleman, Texas, with a total enrollment of 233 students.
Coleman J H is a stable, average-performing school that has consistently ranked in the 62nd-63rd percentile statewide over the last three years, earning a 3-star rating. The school is part of the Coleman Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 56th percentile. A notable strength is mathematics, where students in grades 6, 7, and 8 consistently outperform the state average; for example, 8th graders scored 57.81% proficient compared to the state's 47.24% in 2025-2026. However, reading scores are a challenge, with 5th graders scoring only 40.68% proficient versus the state's 58.47% in the same year. The school also benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 10.9, suggesting smaller class sizes, and spends $9,651 per student.
Key areas of concern include a significant performance dip in 5th grade across subjects, with 5th grade science at just 10.2% proficient in 2024-2025, and volatile Social Studies scores for 8th graders, which dropped from 32.31% to 18.46% year-over-year. The dropout rate is 0.8%, slightly above the district average of 0.5%, and 37.77% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. While the school's overall ranking is stable, individual subject scores fluctuate, indicating that strong math performance in upper grades balances out inconsistent results in other areas. Parents should note that while the school provides a supportive environment with small classes, targeted improvements in reading and 5th-grade foundational skills are needed.
