Meanwhile, Farley Middle School lags behind Hutto Middle in STAAR proficiency, particularly in Mathematics, but still outperforms the district and state averages in many areas.

The schools in Hutto ISD have diverse student populations, with Hispanic students making up the largest racial group. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranges from 36.29% to 47.61% across the elementary schools, with the middle and high schools having slightly lower rates. Spending per student also varies, from $8,992 to $11,367, with the elementary schools generally spending more per student than the middle and high schools. These disparities in student demographics, funding, and academic performance suggest that the district may need to examine and address any equity concerns to ensure all students have access to high-quality educational opportunities.
