Summary

Anson Middle in Anson, TX, is a small school serving 163 students in grades 6-8 within the Anson Independent School District (Isd), and it has recently shown a strong upward trend, jumping to the 57th percentile statewide after a low point a few years ago.

One of the school's biggest strengths is its exceptional program for Gifted and Talented students, which ranks in the top 25% of the state. Additionally, 8th graders taking Algebra I achieved a 70% proficiency rate, far exceeding the state average of 54%. The school also does a commendable job supporting students from low-income backgrounds, with this group consistently performing well. However, a major challenge is general math proficiency, which lags significantly behind state averages—for example, only 28% of 8th graders were proficient in math compared to 47% statewide. This creates a "math gap" that the school needs to address. Compared to nearby Stamford Middle, which is a consistent top performer, Anson Middle is competitive in reading and social studies but falls behind in math. Against Hawley Middle, the schools are more evenly matched, though Anson’s recent improvement and strong GT program give it an edge.

With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.3:1, Anson Middle offers an intimate learning environment that can support individualized attention. While the school has shown inconsistency in serving its Special Education students, the most recent data indicates a significant improvement. Overall, Anson Middle is a school of contrasts—it excels with its highest achievers and economically disadvantaged students, but its general math program is a critical area for growth. For parents, this means a school that can provide excellent opportunities for advanced learners while working to strengthen core instruction for all students.
