Summary

Pottsboro Middle in Pottsboro, TX, serves 440 students in grades 5 through 8 and is part of the highly-rated Pottsboro Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 95th percentile statewide. This school has earned a 4-star rating for four consecutive years and consistently ranks in the top 12% of Texas middle schools, significantly outperforming many nearby peers.

A standout strength is Pottsboro Middle's exceptional Algebra I performance, with 97.14% of students proficient on the End-of-Course exam in 2025-2026—nearly double the state average of 54.03%. This is a major differentiator from schools like Howe Middle (90.91%) and Whitesboro Middle (89.74%). The school also excels in supporting specific student groups: economically disadvantaged students rank in the 89th percentile statewide, and special education students consistently rank in the top 26%. However, 5th-grade science proficiency is a concern, with only 29.91% meeting standards in 2024-2025, barely above the state average. Nearby Pritchard J H in Bells ISD is a close competitor, with higher math proficiency across grades but lower reading and Algebra I scores.

The school has shown remarkable improvement, climbing from a 2-star rating in 2021-2022 to its current 4-star status, suggesting effective leadership and targeted interventions. With a low free/reduced lunch rate of 30.23%—far below peers like Piner Middle (67.99%) and Sherman Middle (79.86%)—the community's socio-economic profile is notably different. While overall performance is strong, results vary by subgroup, with multi-racial students ranking in the 18th percentile in 2025-2026, highlighting areas for continued focus.
