766th

of 2,335 Texas Middle Schools
Better than 67% of Texas middle schools
Summary

Pine Tree J H in Longview, TX, serves 683 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Pine Tree Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top 25% of Texas, and has shown a remarkable turnaround from a 1-star rating in 2016 to a consistent 3-star rating and its highest-ever state ranking in the 67th percentile.

The school’s standout strength is its exceptional Algebra I program, with 96.7% of students proficient on the End-of-Course exam—far exceeding the state average of 54% and matching or surpassing nearby high-performing schools like Spring Hill J H (93.3%) and White Oak Middle (100% with a smaller cohort). This advanced math track is a clear differentiator, outperforming other area middle schools such as Sabine Middle and Gladewater Middle. Additionally, Pine Tree J H excels for diverse student groups, ranking in the top 26% of the state for White, Hispanic, Female, English Language Learner, and economically disadvantaged students, indicating effective support for a broad range of learners. However, a persistent weakness is 8th-grade Social Studies, where only 24.4% of students are proficient, below the state average of 31.7%.

This school’s decade-long improvement story is impressive, climbing from the bottom 23% to the top third of Texas middle schools. Its Algebra I scores are so high they significantly boost the district average, suggesting a specialized accelerated track not as prevalent at Pine Tree Middle (grades 5-6). While the school performs well for many subgroups, performance for Special Education students has dropped from the 76th percentile to the 40th percentile recently, warranting attention. Compared to nearby schools, Pine Tree J H is outpaced overall by Spring Hill J H and White Oak Middle, but its world-class Algebra program is a key strength that sets it apart in the competitive Longview area.
