Porcupine Academy

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Porcupine Academy is a small public high school located in Springtown, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of just 27 students. As part of the Springtown Independent School District, which is ranked 584 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, Porcupine Academy faces some significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

The school's small size, with less than 30 students, could impact the resources, course offerings, and extracurricular activities available. Additionally, Porcupine Academy's test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages, with 0% of students proficient or better in STAAR EOC/English II Reading, compared to 57.01% for the district and 56.22% for the state. The school also has a high student-teacher ratio of 32.5, which is more than double the ratio at the larger Springtown High School. These factors suggest that Porcupine Academy may struggle to provide the individual attention and support needed for its students to succeed.

Interestingly, Porcupine Academy's performance lags behind several nearby high schools, including Boswell High School, Peaster High School, and Springtown High School, all of which have higher test scores, graduation rates, and SchoolDigger ratings. The school's declining performance over time, from a ranking of 1911 out of 1987 Texas high schools in 2023-2024 to 1731 out of 1974 in 2024-2025, is also a concerning trend that will likely require significant intervention and improvement efforts by the district and school leadership.
