Summary:
Poth Independent School District (ISD) is home to a single middle school, Poth J H, which serves 232 students in grades 6-8 and is part of a district ranked in the top 10% of Texas, earning a 5-star rating.
Poth J H is a standout for its consistently high academic performance, never ranking below the 87th percentile in Texas over the last three years. The school’s most impressive achievement is its exceptional math program: in the 2024-2025 school year, 100% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, and the most recent data shows a 95.83% proficiency rate—nearly double the state average. This "Algebra I Advantage" is a key driver of the school’s strong overall ranking. The school also boasts a perfect 0.0% dropout rate. While the school outperforms the state average in every subject, 8th-grade students show a fascinating split: they excel in Reading (76.25% proficient) and Science (76.83% in 2024-2025), but standard 8th-grade Math proficiency is lower (53.57%), likely because top math students are taking advanced Algebra I. Social Studies is the lowest-performing subject at 43.75% proficient, though still above the state average.
Despite its strong scores, Poth J H has seen a slight decline in its state ranking, from the 93rd percentile (5 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 87th percentile (4 stars) in 2025-2026. This suggests that while the school remains excellent, other Texas schools are improving at a faster pace. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.5:1 and a relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students (30.17%), the school provides a supportive environment for academic success. For parents, Poth J H offers a strong, well-rounded education with a particular strength in advanced math, making it a top choice in the Poth Independent School District (Isd).
