Summary:
Anson, Texas is home to a single middle school, Anson Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 with a total enrollment of 163 students as part of the Anson Independent School District (Isd).
Anson Middle has shown strong improvement in its state ranking, moving from the 41st percentile (2 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 57th percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026. The school boasts an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 9.3:1, allowing for more individualized attention, and has a zero percent dropout rate. A standout feature is its performance in Algebra I, where 70% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, dramatically higher than the state average of 54%. However, the school presents a clear contrast between subjects: it outperforms the state average in Reading at every grade level, yet significantly underperforms in Mathematics, with 8th-grade math proficiency at 28.26%—19 points below the state average. This suggests a systemic strength in literacy and a critical weakness in general math instruction, though the school effectively accelerates its top math students into advanced Algebra I courses.
With spending of $14,464 per student and a low student-teacher ratio, the school has the resources to address its math challenges. The volatility in math scores year-over-year, such as 8th-grade math dropping from 46.3% to 28.26%, may be due to small class sizes where a few students can swing percentages. Despite these math struggles, the school's overall ranking has improved, indicating that strong performance in Reading, Social Studies, and Science is lifting its overall rating. For parents, this means Anson Middle offers a supportive environment with small classes and a clear upward trajectory, but families should be aware of the need for targeted math support for most students, while advanced learners have excellent opportunities in Algebra I.
