Summary

Port Neches Intermediate in Port Neches, TX, serves 607 students in grades 3-5 and is part of the high-performing Port Neches-Groves Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 71st percentile statewide. The school has consistently earned a 4-star rating from Schooldigger over the past three years, with a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 14.6:1 and a relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students (40.69% free/reduced lunch).

What truly sets Port Neches Intermediate apart is its strong academic performance compared to nearby schools. Within its own district, it significantly outperforms Groves Intermediate (4.27 miles away), ranking in the 77th percentile versus Groves' 49th percentile. For example, in 4th Grade Reading, Port Neches scored 64.36% proficient compared to Groves' 42.33%. The school also excels in supporting its most vulnerable students, ranking in the 81st percentile for low socio-economic status students and consistently in the 75th-87th percentile for special education students over the last three years. While surrounded by excellent schools in the Nederland Independent School District (Isd), such as Highland Park Elementary (91st percentile) and Helena Park Elementary (89th percentile), Port Neches Intermediate remains highly competitive and is the top-performing school within its own district.

Reading is a clear strength for Port Neches Intermediate, with scores consistently exceeding both district and state averages—5th Grade Reading reached 68.14% proficient versus the state average of 58.47% in 2025-2026. However, math scores are more variable and sometimes hover near the state average, such as 4th Grade Math at 50% versus the state's 49.28%, suggesting an area for potential growth. Notably, the nearby Bob Hope School - Elementary Campus, a charter school in Port Arthur with an 83.54% economically disadvantaged rate, ranks in the 88th percentile and outperforms Port Neches in some math scores, highlighting how different educational models can yield strong results even with high-needs populations.
