Porcupine Pride — Springtown ISD

Springtown competes as the Porcupines — volleyball is on a six-match tear this season, the talk of District 5-4A.

Class 4AVolleyball W6~4,166 students

A close-knit community on the Parker–Wise county line where the Porcupines are the heartbeat and home prices are still some of the most reachable in the county. Small-town Texas with room to breathe, just far enough north to feel like its own place.

How are the Springtown Porcupines doing?
Springtown volleyball is on a six-match win streak after sweeping Decatur 3-0, led by Sara Reyes (342 kills). The Porcupines compete in Class 4A, District 5-4A.

Is Springtown affordable compared to the rest of Parker County?
On price per square foot, Springtown (~$179) runs a bit below Aledo (~$187) and Willow Park (~$189). Its March 2026 median came in at $400,000, but that's on only ~6 sales, so the monthly median swings and isn't a reliable affordability gauge — per-square-foot is the steadier comparison.

Is the burn ban still on in Parker County?
Burn-ban status is set by the Commissioners Court and changes with drought conditions — always confirm before any outdoor burning in unincorporated Parker County.

The volleyball program has put this town on the map this fall. Six in a row and the gym is packed.— Springtown parent
We're right on the Wise County line, so we get the best of both — but our hearts are Porcupine purple.— Longtime Springtown resident
