Summary:
In zip code 75783, there is one middle school, Quitman J H, serving grades 6 through 8 in Quitman, Texas, as part of the Quitman Independent School District (Isd), with a total enrollment of 282 students and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.7 to 1.
Quitman J H has consistently earned a 4-star state rating for three consecutive years, placing it in the 71st to 74th percentile statewide, which indicates stable, above-average performance. The school's standout strength is reading, where 7th and 8th graders significantly outperform the state average—by 9 and 12.7 percentage points, respectively—in the most recent 2025-2026 data. Additionally, 8th grade reading saw a remarkable 8.93 percentage point improvement from the previous year. Social studies is another hidden gem, with 8th graders scoring 8.11 points above the state average. The school also reports a perfect 0.0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year.
However, math performance is a mixed bag. While 7th grade math is a strong point, exceeding the state average by 11.55 points, 6th and 8th grade math scores lag slightly behind state averages. This inconsistency suggests that while the school excels in literacy and social studies instruction, math curriculum may need more uniform attention across all grades. With over half of students (51.77%) economically disadvantaged and a spending rate of $10,988 per student, the school demonstrates that targeted instruction can yield strong results, particularly in reading and social studies, even with moderate resources.
