Summary:
The Fort Bend Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 15 diverse middle schools that serve students in grades 6-8. This analysis reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with several standout institutions that rank among the top middle schools in the state.
The data highlights three exceptional middle schools within the district: Fort Settlement Middle, Sartartia Middle, and First Colony Middle. These schools consistently rank in the top 30, 100, and 250 middle schools in Texas, respectively, and demonstrate exceptional academic performance, with over 70% proficiency in core subject areas. In contrast, some lower-performing schools, such as Missouri City Middle and Christa McAuliffe Middle, struggle with proficiency rates below 50% in many subjects.
The data also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch rates, and academic achievement. Schools with higher percentages of students from low-income families tend to have lower test scores and proficiency rates. However, the data also shows that diverse student populations, such as those found at Fort Settlement Middle and Sartartia Middle, can still achieve academic excellence, suggesting that a diverse student body does not necessarily hinder performance. Overall, the Fort Bend ISD middle schools exhibit a range of academic outcomes, highlighting the importance of school-level factors in driving student success.
