H G Temple Int, Diboll TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on H G Temple Int

H G Temple Intermediate is a regular public school serving grades three through five in Diboll, a small East Texas town anchored by forest-products manufacturing, education, and health care. The school sits in a modest-sized district and draws a student population that is economically disadvantaged and ethnically diverse.

The academic picture is mixed. In English language arts, the school shows relative strength at the upper end: fifth graders perform noticeably better than fourth graders, with a material share meeting or exceeding proficiency. Third and fourth grade ELA performance is lower. Math results are uneven across grades. Third grade shows a below-midpoint share meeting or exceeding proficiency; fourth grade performs quite poorly; fifth grade rebounds considerably, with close to half the students meeting or exceeding standards. Science testing occurs only at fifth grade, where proficiency sits below half. When all subjects are averaged across all grades, the school sits above the midpoint among Angelina County's districts on overall proficiency.

Participation and trend data are not available, so it is not possible to say whether performance is strengthening, declining, or stable year to year.

Roughly a substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting the economic conditions of the town and surrounding area. The enrollment is small to moderate for an intermediate school, distributed fairly evenly across three grades. The student body is ethnically mixed, with a plurality of students identifying as Hispanic, a substantial share as White, and smaller shares as Black or multiracial. Data on special education enrollment and English-learner status were not reported.

The housing market in the zip code is accessible relative to national benchmarks, with median home values substantially below the state average. Rental affordability is reasonable. The area has seen modest recent growth, with new affordable-rental housing under development and a major infrastructure shift underway: the US-59 bypass, part of the future Interstate 69 corridor, opened northbound lanes in May 2025, potentially reshaping regional development and traffic patterns.

The school offers a traditional athletics program spanning baseball, basketball, cross country, football, soccer, softball, track and field, golf, and volleyball. The town itself provides recreational infrastructure including a large park system with trails, splash pad, and sports facilities, plus a public library and civic center.

State testing data for grade three in English language arts included too few Spanish-language test-takers to report results. Parents may want to look into how the school supports students across its grade span in math, particularly at the fourth-grade level, and whether additional interventions or pathways are in place to strengthen proficiency trends.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
