Summary

Leveretts Chapel J H is a very small middle school in Overton, TX, serving just 52 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Leveretts Chapel Independent School District (Isd).

The most striking thing about this school is its extreme year-to-year swings in performance. A decade ago, it was a top-tier school, ranking in the 95th percentile. Today, it sits in the 31st percentile, a dramatic drop that reflects the challenge of being a very small school where a single class of students can dramatically shift the entire school's scores. For example, in the most recent year, 7th graders excelled in reading (92% proficient), while 8th graders struggled significantly in math (0% proficient). This volatility makes it hard to get a clear picture of the school's overall effectiveness. In contrast, nearby schools like White Oak Middle and Troup Middle are consistently high-performing, while West Rusk Middle, just 5 miles away, outperforms Leveretts Chapel despite serving a similar population.

Despite its overall struggles, the school shows a notable bright spot: it ranks in the 76th percentile for its English Language Learners, suggesting effective strategies for that group. However, the school also operates with the lowest per-student spending among nearby schools ($8,790), compared to $11,201 at Troup Middle and $11,101 at Arp J H. With 84.62% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a high-need community with limited resources. The recent slight uptick from a 1-star to a 2-star rating offers a glimmer of hope, but the school's future depends on whether it can build on the success of its 7th-grade cohort and address the severe weaknesses seen in other grades.
