Schools in Saint Jo 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. Montague Elementary reaches the 87th percentile statewide, a standout result for a rural county where small towns like Bowie, Nocona, Saint Jo, and Montague anchor separate independent districts. 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.
