Summary

Hooks J H in Hooks, TX, is a small middle school serving 257 students in grades 5-8 within the Hooks Independent School District (Isd), a district that has earned a solid 4-star rating and ranks in the 70th percentile statewide. The school stands out for its exceptional advanced math program, with Algebra I proficiency rates consistently far above the state average—reaching 90% in 2024-2025 compared to the state's 47%. This is a key differentiator from nearby schools like Liberty-Eylau Middle and Texas Middle, which rank in lower percentiles. However, while advanced math shines, the school's on-grade-level math scores are a mixed bag, with 7th grade outperforming the state but other grades lagging slightly behind.

Reading is a clear strength at Hooks J H, with students consistently outperforming state averages in 6th and 7th grades, and matching them in 8th grade. The school also excels in supporting specific student groups: economically disadvantaged students rank in the 72nd percentile statewide, and the Gifted and Talented program earned a stellar 96th percentile ranking in 2024-2025. Notably, the school has shown a dramatic turnaround for Special Education students, jumping from the 14th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 60th percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting effective recent interventions. A low student-teacher ratio of 10.5:1 likely contributes to this targeted support, offering a more personalized environment than larger schools like Pleasant Grove Middle or Red Lick Middle.

While Hooks J H is a strong, stable option in a diverse educational landscape, it does show a performance gap between male and female students, with males ranking higher in recent years. Overall, the school's trajectory is positive, with a general upward trend since 2018. For parents, this school offers a robust literacy program, exceptional advanced math opportunities, and a supportive environment for diverse learners, making it a compelling choice compared to nearby options like James L Germany Middle or New Boston Middle.
