Summary:
There is one middle school, Rivercrest J H, serving grades 6 through 8 in the Rivercrest Independent School District (Isd), located in Bogata, TX, with a total enrollment of 149 students.
Rivercrest J H shows a striking contrast in academic performance. The school's standout strength is mathematics, particularly in 6th and 7th grades, where proficiency rates in the 2024-2025 school year were nearly double the state average (60.47% vs. 37.68% for 6th grade, and 59.18% vs. 31.12% for 7th grade). This is a significant achievement given that 73.15% of students are economically disadvantaged. However, the school consistently struggles with 8th grade Social Studies, where only 12.96% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, well below the state average of 29.64%. The school's overall ranking has been volatile, dropping from the 66th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 56th percentile in 2024-2025, before recovering to the 67th percentile in 2025-2026. This volatility is likely due to the small cohort size of 149 students, where a single strong or weak class can dramatically swing results year to year.
A key asset for Rivercrest J H is its low student-teacher ratio of 9.4:1, which allows for personalized instruction and targeted intervention. The school maintains a 0.0% dropout rate and spends $11,617 per student. The district itself is ranked 442nd out of 951 districts in Texas (54th percentile) with a 3-star rating. The school's ability to achieve strong math results despite high economic disadvantage, combined with its recovery in ranking after a dip, suggests effective teaching in specific subjects and a capacity for improvement, though the inconsistency in 8th grade Social Studies remains a clear area needing attention.
