Summary:
The Galveston Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to three middle schools: Central Middle, Austin Middle, and Weis. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a significant representation of Hispanic and African American students, and high rates of economic disadvantage across the district.
Among the three middle schools, Austin Middle stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the best middle schools in Texas. With a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, Austin Middle boasts significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages, as well as a lower dropout rate. In contrast, Central Middle and Weis have lower rankings and ratings, with Central Middle being ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools and Weis being ranked in the bottom 10%.
The disparities in academic performance across the Galveston ISD middle schools highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to improve outcomes at the lower-performing schools. Additionally, the high rates of economic disadvantage across the district suggest that addressing equity and access issues will be crucial in ensuring all students receive a high-quality education.
