Summary

Poteet High School is a small, rural school in Poteet, TX, serving 481 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Poteet Independent School District (Isd). The school has a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.9:1, and over 68% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Poteet High School presents a mixed picture for parents. On one hand, the school has a notable strength in English II Reading, where 61.07% of students scored proficient, slightly above the state average of 59.88%. This marks the third consecutive year the school has met or exceeded the state average in this subject, a feat not achieved by nearby competitors like Pleasanton High School or Jourdanton High School. Additionally, the school provides exceptional support for English Language Learners (ELL), who ranked in the 72nd percentile statewide—a bright spot that suggests effective, targeted instruction for this group.

However, the school faces a critical challenge in Algebra I, where only 6.06% of students scored proficient on the STAAR End-of-Course exam, far below the state average of 54.03% and significantly lower than Somerset High School (43.75%) and Jourdanton High School (19.8%). This persistent issue points to a need for intervention in math instruction. The graduation rate has also declined from 95.4% to 90.4% over recent years, while nearby Jourdanton High School maintains a 95.3% rate. For context, the Shirleen Zacharias Early Clge Leadership Academy in Somerset ISD demonstrates that high achievement is possible in the area, with a 99th percentile ranking and 100% graduation rate, showing that demographic challenges do not have to dictate outcomes.
