About schools in Jim Wells County

Five districts serve Jim Wells County's 14 ranked public schools, but the performance picture is anything but evenly spread. Orange Grove ISD stands out clearly from the rest, with Orange Grove Elementary ranking in the 78th percentile statewide and Orange Grove High School reaching the 70th — both well above the county's single top-quartile entry. Alice, the county seat and largest city, anchors the most populous district, while smaller communities like Premont and Ben Bolt add to a rural South Texas landscape where resources and outcomes vary considerably. Families weighing options here should look closely at district boundaries before deciding where to plant roots.
