Summary:
The two middle schools serving zip code 76088 in Weatherford, TX—Peaster Intermediate (grades 4-6) and Peaster J H (grades 7-8)—are part of the highly rated Peaster Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top 17% of Texas districts. Together, these schools serve 727 students and provide a continuous educational pipeline from 4th through 8th grade, with relatively low rates of economic disadvantage compared to many Texas public schools.
Peaster J H stands out for its exceptional advanced math program, with 97.22% of Algebra I students scoring proficient—far above the state average of 54.03%. The school has also shown a strong upward trend in its state ranking, moving from the 49th percentile to the 74th percentile over two years. In contrast, Peaster Intermediate excels in core subjects, particularly 4th-grade Math (67.12% proficient vs. 45.79% statewide) and 5th-grade Science (47.59% vs. 29.57% statewide). However, a notable "6th grade math slump" sees proficiency drop from 67.15% in 5th grade to just 37.24% in 6th grade—the only grade where the school falls below the state average. Additionally, 8th-grade Social Studies at Peaster J H consistently underperforms the state average, presenting a clear area for improvement.
Key metrics show Peaster Intermediate has a higher student-teacher ratio (18.3:1) compared to Peaster J H (14.3:1), suggesting smaller class sizes in upper grades. The junior high also reports a very low dropout rate of 0.4% and spent $10,247 per student in 2020-2021. Year-over-year volatility in math scores across both schools—such as a 13-point drop in 5th-grade Math at the intermediate school—warrants monitoring, but overall, these schools provide strong academic foundations with standout programs in advanced math and science.
