Summary

Boles Elementary is a small, rural PK-4 school in Quinlan, TX, serving 202 students as the sole campus of the Boles Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out for its exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 12:1 and high per-pupil spending of over $12,000, both of which are the best in the area. However, these advantages have not translated into top-tier academic results; the school currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 48th percentile statewide, a decline from its peak performance in the 2015-2016 school year.

When compared to nearby schools, Boles Elementary presents a mixed picture. It significantly outperforms its closest geographic neighbors in the Quinlan Independent School District (Isd), such as A E Butler Intermediate and D C Cannon Elementary, which are in a 1-star district. For example, Boles’ 4th graders scored 58.82% proficient in Reading, compared to just 35.21% at Butler. Yet, it lags behind schools in the Caddo Mills Independent School District (Isd), like Kathryn Griffis Elementary (83rd percentile), despite having a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students and smaller class sizes. This suggests that factors like curriculum and instructional quality may be more critical than class size alone.

Academically, Boles shows inconsistent performance across grade levels and student groups. Fourth graders consistently outperform third graders, with recent scores above the state average in Reading (58.82%) and Math (52.94%), while third graders fall below. The school has a notable strength in serving "At Risk" students, who ranked in the 70th percentile in 2021-2022, but struggles with other subgroups, such as Special Education students, who have ranked in the 5th percentile or lower in recent years. For families in the Quinlan area, Boles offers a more personalized environment and stronger results than local alternatives, though it may not match the top-tier performance of some neighboring districts.
