Summary

Windthorst Jh in Windthorst, TX, is a small, high-performing middle school serving 107 students in grades 6-8 within the Windthorst Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top 2% of Texas.

This school is a consistent academic powerhouse, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for six consecutive years and ranking in the top 5% of all Texas middle schools. It stands in stark contrast to the nearby Ntsh Pri Program Wichita Campus in the Vernon Independent School District (Isd), which serves only 11 students and is ranked in the bottom 8% of districts. Windthorst Jh excels in core subjects, with 6th-grade math proficiency at 88.89% compared to the state average of 37.68%. The school is particularly effective at supporting students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the top 3% statewide for this group, and has a history of being the best in Texas for gifted and talented students. With a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 13:1 and increasing per-pupil spending, the school provides individualized attention and strong resources.

While Windthorst Jh is a model for rural excellence, there are a few areas to note. A consistent "7th-grade math dip" shows proficiency dropping to 30.77% in 2025-2026, a significant decline from 6th and 8th-grade scores, suggesting a potential curriculum or instruction issue. The school's overall state ranking has also seen a slight downward trend from the 95th percentile to the 91st percentile in recent years. Additionally, historical data for "At Risk" students showed a low ranking in 2021-2022, though recent data is unavailable. Despite these points, the school's zero percent dropout rate over five years and sustained high performance make it a standout choice for families seeking a top-tier education in a rural setting.
