Poteet Independent School District (Isd)

The Poteet Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates four schools, including two elementary schools (Poteet Elementary and Poteet Intermediate), one middle school (Poteet J H), and one high school (Poteet High School). The district serves a predominantly Hispanic student population facing significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the standout schools, Poteet High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 86.6% and stronger performance on STAAR EOC exams in English I and II Reading compared to the district and state averages. Similarly, Poteet J H outperformed the district and state on the STAAR Algebra I EOC exam, with 18% proficiency. However, the district and its schools generally underperform compared to state averages on STAAR/EOC exams, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points below the state.

The data reveals inconsistent academic performance across grade levels, with some schools performing better in certain grades than others. This suggests the need for a more comprehensive, vertically-aligned approach to curriculum and instruction. Despite the overall low performance across the district, the analysis identifies potential bright spots and opportunities for improvement that could be leveraged to drive better outcomes for students in the Poteet Independent School District (Isd).
