About Farwell J H
Farwell J H earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating that places it 101st among 8,547 public schools in Texas, ahead of 99% of schools statewide. That result stands out for a 146-student middle school serving grades six through eight. Academic and growth scores align closely: a 9.0 academic score reflects consistent measured performance, and a 9.1 growth score confirms students are advancing at an above-average rate.
Among Texas middle schools specifically, Farwell J H ranks 25th out of 1,693 — a top-2% position within its direct peer group. A 9.1-to-1 student-teacher ratio likely supports that performance. At that level, teachers track individual student progress rather than managing large-group instruction.
For a school this size, that access is built into the daily structure. Farwell J H is a regular public school open to all district students in grades six through eight. With 146 students enrolled and performance data that holds up across every measured dimension, it ranks among the strongest verified middle schools in west Texas.
What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 146 students, Farwell J H is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
With a student-teacher ratio of 9.1:1, Farwell J H offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
Located in a rural area, Farwell J H may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
