Summary

Post Middle School is a public middle school in Post, Texas, serving 152 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Post Independent School District, which is ranked 840 out of 961 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Post Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with performance on state assessments significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 44.23% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 56.39%. The school's persistent underperformance suggests a need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support student learning.

Socioeconomic factors may also play a role, as Post Middle School has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 67.76% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school's per-student spending has decreased over the past few years, and the student-teacher ratio has fluctuated, which could impact the level of individual attention and support available to students.
