Summary:
In zip code 78164, there is one middle school, Yorktown J H, serving grades 6 through 8 in the Yorktown area with a total enrollment of 125 students.
Yorktown J H is part of the Yorktown Independent School District (Isd) and presents a mixed academic profile. The school's standout feature is its exceptional performance in advanced math: 100% of students taking Algebra I were proficient, far exceeding the state average of 54%. However, this strength contrasts sharply with significant struggles in core subjects, where only 12% of 7th graders were proficient in mathematics and just 19% of 8th graders were proficient in social studies. The school's state ranking has improved slightly, moving from the 35th to the 40th percentile, and it maintains a 0% dropout rate. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.8:1 and spending of $10,952 per student, the school has solid resources, yet many core subject scores remain below state averages.
Key takeaways for parents include notable year-over-year volatility in test scores, likely due to the small enrollment of 125 students where a single cohort can dramatically shift averages. The school shows a clear pattern of strength in reading, with 8th-grade scores exceeding the state average, while mathematics and social studies are consistent weaknesses. The "Algebra I anomaly" suggests the school excels at accelerating top math students but may need to improve its general math curriculum. Overall, Yorktown J H offers strong advanced programs and small class sizes, but families should be aware of the uneven performance across subjects and the potential for significant score fluctuations from year to year.
