Summary

Mount Pleasant J H in Mount Pleasant, TX, serves 713 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Mount Pleasant Independent School District (Isd), a district rated 4 stars and in the 70th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in Algebra I, where proficiency rates have consistently been nearly double the state average—reaching 96.7% in the most recent year compared to the state's 54%. This suggests a highly effective advanced math program. However, this strength contrasts with standard 8th-grade math, where the school's proficiency rate (36.9%) falls below the state average (47.2%). The school also excels with specific student groups, including White students and English Language Learners, both ranking in the top 30% of the state. A notable challenge is serving Special Education students, who have consistently ranked in the bottom third of the state. Overall, the school has shown a remarkable turnaround, climbing from a 1-star rating in 2015-2016 to a consistent 3-star rating over the last four years.

Compared to nearby schools, Mount Pleasant J H presents a mixed picture. It significantly outperforms Daingerfield J H (14th percentile, 1 star), but lags behind Pittsburg J H (78th percentile, 4 stars) and Mt Vernon Middle (79th percentile, 4 stars) in most subjects, except for Algebra I. For instance, Pittsburg J H achieves 77% proficiency in 8th-grade math versus Mount Pleasant's 36.9%. The school maintains a near-zero dropout rate and reasonable per-student spending (~$9,600), suggesting effective resource use.
