Schools in Nocona ISD · Montague County

Against Texas's sprawling landscape of public schools, Montague County's 12 ranked schools across 7 districts put up modest but real numbers — and one school punches well above its weight.

Saint Jo Elementary follows at the 73rd percentile, and Prairie Valley School in Nocona sits at the 66th. Families drawn to smaller districts with distinct local character will find genuine performers here, even if overall statewide rankings place only one school in the top quartile.
