Summary:
Karnes City Independent School District (Isd) has a single middle school, Karnes City J H, serving students in grades 6-8. Located in the small town of Karnes City, Texas, the school serves a predominantly Hispanic student population with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Academically, Karnes City J H faces significant challenges, with STAAR test scores consistently below state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. However, the school stands out for its strong performance on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, where 62.5% of students scored proficient or better, outpacing the state average of 44.73%. Despite these academic hurdles, the school maintains a commendable 0.0% dropout rate, indicating effective student retention efforts.
While Karnes City J H benefits from higher-than-average spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggests potential equity concerns that may be contributing to the performance challenges. Targeted interventions and a closer examination of resource allocation could help the school address these issues and better support the success of its students.
