Schools in Quitman ISD · Wood County

Six districts spread across the piney woods of East Texas give Wood County a genuinely varied public school landscape, even if the overall performance range stays fairly narrow. Most of the county's 15 ranked schools cluster in the middle tiers statewide, but a handful punch above their weight for small-town systems. Mineola Middle leads the pack at the 76th percentile, with Hawkins H S / Middle close behind at 74th — both worth a serious look for families weighing options. English and math scores across the county tend to be stronger at the middle school level than at the high school level, a pattern worth keeping in mind when planning ahead.
