Summary:
The Poteet Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Poteet J H, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, performing consistently below the state average on standardized tests and serving a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Poteet J H's academic performance is a major concern, with students scoring well below the state averages on STAAR assessments in reading, math, science, and social studies. In the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better ranged from just 1.41% in 7th grade math to 50.74% in 8th grade reading, compared to state averages of 31.89% and 54.09%, respectively. The school's Algebra I End-of-Course exam performance was also significantly lower than the state average.
Poteet J H also faces socioeconomic challenges, with 67.07% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's limited resources, as evidenced by its high student-teacher ratio and relatively low per-student spending, may contribute to its persistent academic struggles. Over the past three years, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools and maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a need for significant improvement to provide a high-quality education for its students.
