Best Public Schools in Poteet, TX


Summary:

The city of Poteet, Texas is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including Poteet Elementary, Poteet High School, Poteet J H, and Poteet Intermediate. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the standout schools, Poteet High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 86.6%, but its overall performance on STAAR end-of-course exams is significantly below the state average. In contrast, Poteet J H (Middle School) performs better than the other schools in the Poteet Independent School District (ISD) on STAAR reading assessments, though it struggles with math performance.

The data reveals significant achievement gaps across the Poteet ISD, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points lower than the Texas average. This raises concerns about equity and access to quality education for economically disadvantaged students in the district. While the district as a whole faces challenges, the variation in school performance suggests opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies used at the stronger-performing schools, such as Poteet J H, and implement a comprehensive approach to school improvement.
