Summary

Quitman J H is a middle school in Quitman, TX, serving 282 students in grades 6-8 within the Quitman Independent School District (Isd), and it has shown a strong upward trend in recent years, now consistently earning a 4-star rating. One of its most notable strengths is its exceptional performance with economically disadvantaged students, where it ranks in the 80th percentile—a stark contrast to nearby schools like Winnsboro J H, which has a higher poverty rate but doesn't match this level of success. The school also excels in 7th-grade math, with 40.96% of students proficient compared to the state average of 29.41%, and it outperforms peers like Mineola Middle (20.72%) and Winnsboro J H (20.93%).

However, Quitman J H shows a unique "two-speed" pattern: while it performs exceptionally well for some student groups, it underperforms for others, such as White students, who rank in only the 42nd percentile. This is a key differentiator from nearby schools, which don't show such a stark contrast. The school's support for special education students has been inconsistent, bouncing from the 27th percentile to the 56th percentile in recent years, which is an area to watch. On a positive note, the school's reading program gets stronger as students progress, with 8th-grade reading proficiency (71.43%) significantly exceeding the state average, and it consistently outperforms the state in 8th-grade social studies (39.8% vs. 31.69%).

Quitman J H also demonstrates resource efficiency, spending $10,988 per student with a student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1—less than Grand Saline Middle ($12,707) and Mineola Middle ($12,320)—while achieving better overall results. The school strategically accelerates top-performing 8th graders into Algebra I, leading to high proficiency rates on that exam, though general 8th-grade math proficiency (45.19%) lags slightly behind the state average. With a perfect 0.0% dropout rate for five consecutive years, Quitman J H is a school on a strong upward trajectory, particularly effective for its most vulnerable students, but with room to grow in ensuring consistent support across all groups.
