Summary:
In zip code 79070, there is one middle school, Perryton J H, serving grades 6 through 8 in Perryton, Texas, as part of the Perryton Independent School District (Isd).
Perryton J H is a solid 3-star school, consistently ranking in the 63rd to 65th percentile statewide over the last three years. It serves a student body where about 61% are eligible for free or reduced lunch, yet it maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.7 to 1 and reports a 0.0% dropout rate. The school's standout achievement is in advanced math: for two consecutive years, 100% of 8th graders taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam scored proficient or above, far exceeding district and state averages. Additionally, 8th-grade reading and math scores consistently outperform the state, with 64.66% proficient in reading and 61.4% in math for the 2025-2026 school year.
However, the school shows a stark contrast between its advanced and standard math programs. While Algebra I results are perfect, 7th-grade math proficiency plummeted from 38.81% to just 11.27% year-over-year, and 6th-grade math dropped from 50.43% to 31.88%—a significant decline. Reading is a relative strength, particularly in 8th grade, but 6th-grade reading has remained below the state average for two years. This suggests that while the school excels at accelerating top students, foundational math skills for the general student body, especially in 7th grade, need urgent attention. Overall, Perryton J H demonstrates high performance in specific areas despite economic challenges, but faces critical inconsistencies in its math curriculum across grade levels.
