Texas Middle has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, from a 3-star rating in 2020-2021 to a 1-star rating in the current year, indicating ongoing issues that require attention. Compared to nearby middle schools, such as New Boston Middle, Hooks J.H., and Redwater J.H., Texas Middle is underperforming academically.
One bright spot for Texas Middle is its exceptional performance in STAAR EOC Algebra I, where 93.26% of students were proficient or better in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state and district averages. However, the school's overall STAAR test scores, particularly in mathematics, are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the significant performance gaps between different racial subgroups at Texas Middle, particularly the low rankings of African American and multi-racial students, suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address these disparities.
