Summary:
In zip code 78832, there is one middle school, Brackett J H, serving grades 6 through 8 in Brackettville, Texas, as part of the Brackett Independent School District (Isd).
Brackett J H has a small enrollment of 112 students and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1, which supports individualized attention. The school reports a 0.0% dropout rate, a strong indicator of student retention. Academically, the school shows a split profile. It excels in advanced courses, with 90% of students proficient in Algebra I and 87.5% proficient in Biology, both significantly above state averages. However, performance in standard grade-level tests is mixed. While 6th-grade reading and math exceed state averages, 8th-grade math proficiency is a stark 17.14%, compared to the state average of 47.24%, and 8th-grade social studies also lags behind. This suggests a strong accelerated track for some students, but challenges in core instruction for the general 8th-grade cohort.
The school's state ranking places it in the 54th percentile (3 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year. With 54.46% of students economically disadvantaged and spending of $9,609 per student, the school has resources for targeted instruction, yet test scores show significant year-over-year volatility, likely influenced by the small student population. For parents, Brackett J H offers a small, supportive environment with strong advanced course options, but families should investigate the notable drop in 8th-grade math performance and the inconsistency in results across subjects and grade levels.
