Perryton J H

Perryton Junior High serves 419 sixth through eighth graders in the Texas Panhandle city of Perryton. The school earns a composite rating of 9.0 out of 10 — an Exceptional score — built on an academic rating of 8.8 and a near-perfect growth score of 9.9. That growth figure carries particular weight: it measures how much students improve year over year relative to comparable peers, and Perryton JH delivers at the very top of that scale.

The numbers place that performance in sharp relief. Perryton JH ranks 38th among 1,693 middle schools in Texas, putting it in the top 3% of its peer group statewide. Across all 8,547 public schools in Texas — elementary through high school — it lands at #159 and outperforms 98% of the state.

Locally, it holds the top position among all five schools in Perryton. Class size reinforces the results. A 12.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio keeps instruction personal during the middle school years, when individual attention has an outsized effect on academic trajectory.

For families evaluating schools in the Perryton area, this campus stands well above the district average — and ranks among the strongest middle schools in Texas by any objective measure.
