Summary

Poolville High School is a small, rural high school in Poolville, TX, serving 192 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Poolville Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out for its remarkable recent turnaround, jumping from the 24th percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 58th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating. With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.9:1 and high per-student spending of $16,749, the school invests heavily in its small student body, creating an environment where personalized attention is the norm.

What truly differentiates Poolville from nearby schools like Peaster High School and Springtown High School is its exceptional support for specific student groups. In the most recent year, Poolville ranked in the 87th percentile for Special Education students and the 86th percentile for English Language Learners—a dramatic improvement from just two years prior. The school also outperforms the state average for low-income students, ranking in the 70th percentile. No other nearby school shows this level of high performance across these three critical subgroups simultaneously, suggesting that recent programs are effectively closing achievement gaps. Additionally, Poolville boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, a standout metric that speaks to its ability to keep all students on track.

However, the school's performance is marked by volatility and mixed test scores. While students significantly outperform the state in Biology (72.34% proficient) and English I Reading (66.07%), they struggle in Algebra I, with only 39.13% proficient compared to the state average of 54.03%. This math weakness is shared by many area schools, but it remains a critical area for improvement. Meanwhile, the school's focus on at-risk students may have come at a cost: its Gifted and Talented program ranked in the 5th percentile recently, a sharp drop from the 91st percentile a few years ago. While Peaster High School remains the higher-performing school overall, Poolville is arguably the more equitable school, ensuring success for its most challenging student populations. The challenge ahead will be sustaining these gains while addressing math proficiency and re-engaging high-achieving students.
