Summary:
Axtell Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single middle school, Axtell Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. Despite being the only middle school in the district, Axtell Middle School has shown steady improvement in its academic performance and overall quality over the past three years.
Axtell Middle School's strengths lie in its reading proficiency, which consistently exceeds the state averages across all grade levels. The school's performance on the STAAR EOC Algebra I exam is particularly impressive, with 85.71% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 44.73%. However, the school's mathematics proficiency rates are more mixed, with some grade levels falling below the state averages, suggesting an area for potential improvement.
While Axtell Middle School has made progress in its statewide ranking, moving from 1172nd out of 2254 Texas middle schools in 2021-2022 to 976th out of 2361 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has improved from 2 stars to 3 stars out of 5, the school faces socioeconomic challenges, with 64.4% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may impact the school's ability to support student learning and achievement.
