Baker-koonce Intermediate

Carthage is a small East Texas town with deep roots in the region's oil and gas history, and Baker-Koonce Intermediate sits right in the heart of that tight-knit community. The school lands in the middle of the pack statewide, with reasonably balanced performance across English, math, and science — a solid foundation for families looking for a familiar, small-town school experience. It's a good fit for families who value knowing their neighbors and want their kids growing up in a close community where local pride runs strong.
