Summary:
There is one middle school, Chapel Hill J H, serving grades 6-8 in the Chapel Hill Independent School District (Isd), located in Mount Pleasant, Texas, with a total enrollment of 194 students.
As the only middle school in the district, Chapel Hill J H has shown a volatile performance trajectory over the last three years, dropping from a 5-star rating (90th percentile) to a 3-star rating (59th percentile). The school excels in advanced coursework, with 88.46% of 8th graders proficient in Algebra I, far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. However, this strength contrasts with struggles in standard 8th-grade math (32.50% proficient vs. 47.24% state average) and 8th-grade social studies (22.73% proficient vs. 31.69% state average). The school benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 10.7:1, which supports personalized learning, particularly in 7th and 8th-grade reading where it outperforms state averages. The current cohort of students is performing significantly worse than the previous year's cohort, with notable declines in 6th-grade reading (dropping 19 points) and 8th-grade math (dropping 13 points).
Key metrics include a 0.0% dropout rate, 41.75% economic disadvantage rate, and spending of $10,773 per student. The school's overall ranking decline is likely driven by drops in core subjects, but its elite Algebra I performance suggests successful acceleration of top-tier math students. Social studies remains a persistent weakness across both years of data, representing a clear opportunity for improvement. The school's small size and low student-teacher ratio are major assets, but targeted instructional strategies are needed in 6th-grade reading and 8th-grade math to translate this advantage into consistent success across all subjects.
