Summary

Pottsboro Elementary in Pottsboro, TX, is a PK-4 school serving 552 students in the Pottsboro Independent School District (Isd), and it has achieved a remarkable turnaround, now ranking in the 89th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year after being in the 50th percentile just two years prior.

This school stands out as the clear academic leader in its region, significantly outperforming nearby schools in both Reading and Mathematics. For example, in 4th Grade Math, Pottsboro Elementary scored 72.62% proficient, while the next best nearby school, Mayes Elementary, scored 53.41%, and Terrell Elementary scored just 19.75%. In 3rd Grade Reading, Pottsboro Elementary achieved 71.28% proficiency, compared to 56.06% at Hyde Park Elementary and 24.64% at Percy W Neblett Elementary. This exceptional performance is even more impressive given that Pottsboro Elementary spends less per student ($9,536) than every nearby school, which range from $10,028 to $13,225, demonstrating highly efficient use of resources.

What truly sets Pottsboro Elementary apart is its outstanding support for specific student groups, ranking in the top 5% of the state for Hispanic students and Special Education students, both at the 96th percentile. The school also effectively supports its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 81st percentile. This dramatic improvement from a low point in 2023-2024 points to highly effective recent interventions. While nearby schools in the Sherman Independent School District (Isd) struggle with high poverty rates and scores well below state averages, Pottsboro Elementary serves a lower-poverty population and achieves top-tier results, making it a standout model of equity and efficiency in Texas.
