Summary

Booker Jh/H S in Booker, TX, is a small, rural school serving 173 students in grades 6 through 12 within the Booker Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its impressive academic performance and highly supportive environment. With a student-to-teacher ratio of just 8.3:1 and spending of $15,963 per student—45% higher than nearby Perryton High School—Booker offers personalized attention that drives results. It ranks in the 84th percentile statewide, far surpassing Perryton High School's 53rd percentile. On End-of-Course exams, Booker students consistently outperform both Perryton and state averages, particularly in Biology (92.59% passing) and English II Reading (86.96% passing). Notably, the school excels with economically disadvantaged students, who rank in the 89th percentile, and male students, who rank in the 90th percentile. However, there is a significant gap in performance between male and female students, with females ranking in the 72nd percentile. Additionally, Special Education students (38th percentile) and Gifted and Talented students (31st percentile) may benefit from more targeted support.

Booker Jh/H S has shown sustained improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 51st percentile in 2015-2016 to its current top-tier status. This growth is especially remarkable given that over 60% of students are economically disadvantaged. While the school is a standout in the Texas Panhandle, it faces challenges in replicating its success with male students across all subgroups, particularly for Special Education and Gifted and Talented learners. For parents seeking a high-performing, close-knit school that invests heavily in student success, Booker Jh/H S is an excellent choice.
