Rivercrest J H

Rivercrest J H is a public middle school in Bogata, Texas, serving 162 students in grades 6 through 8. With a student-teacher ratio of 10.1 to 1, students get consistent, close access to instruction — a structural advantage that shows up in the results. And the results are hard to argue with.

Rivercrest earns a composite score of 9.5 out of 10, rated Exceptional, with an academic score of 9.4 and a growth score of 9.7.

Zooming out makes that even clearer. Rivercrest ranks 30th out of 8,547 public schools statewide — spanning all grade levels — and outperforms 100 percent of Texas public schools by composite measure. For families in Bogata and the surrounding area, that means access to a genuinely top-tier middle school education without leaving the region.

Parents comparing options in northeast Texas will find few schools at any level that match what Rivercrest delivers academically.

Located in a rural area, Rivercrest 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.
