Summary

Poth High School is a small, rural high school in Poth, TX, serving 275 students in grades 9-12 as part of the top-performing Poth Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out for its exceptional academic outcomes, including a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly better than nearby Floresville High School (89.3% graduation) and Karnes City High School (70.2% graduation). With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 10:1, the school provides individualized attention that helps students thrive, achieving STAAR EOC proficiency rates well above the state average—such as 90.36% in Biology and 80.68% in English I Reading—far outpacing Floresville High School (53.98% in English I) and Karnes City High School (51.81% in English I).

While Poth High School consistently ranks in the top 20% of Texas high schools (81st percentile in 2025-2026), it operates in the shadow of the exceptionally high-performing Falls City High School (95th percentile), located just 7.2 miles away, which scores 10-20 percentage points higher on most subjects. However, Poth still outperforms its larger neighbors like La Vernia High School (78th percentile) and Floresville High School (40th percentile), and it achieves these results with efficient spending of $15,251 per student—similar to Karnes City High School ($14,692) but with far better outcomes. The school’s small size and community focus are key advantages, ensuring students don’t fall through the cracks.

Despite its overall strength, Poth High School shows some volatility in serving specific student groups, with rankings for Special Education students swinging from the 92nd percentile in 2024-2025 to the 19th percentile in 2023-2024, and Gifted and Talented students dropping from the 91st percentile to the 42nd percentile in recent years. Additionally, the school’s overall state ranking has slightly declined from a peak of the 96th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 81st percentile in 2025-2026, a trend worth monitoring. For parents, Poth offers a nurturing environment with strong academics and high graduation rates, but it’s important to note that while it’s a top choice in the region, it’s not quite at the elite level of Falls City High School.
