Summary

Long Middle is a public middle school located in Dallas, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 532 students. The school is part of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 404 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Long Middle has consistently been ranked in the bottom quartile of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Long Middle's performance is significantly below both the district and state averages across multiple metrics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 27.22% of 6th graders at Long Middle were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 50.5% for the district and 54.21% for the state. The performance gap is even more pronounced in mathematics, with only 19.5% of 6th graders at Long Middle being proficient or better, compared to 31.84% for the district and 37.68% for the state. Additionally, Long Middle has consistently higher dropout rates compared to the district and state averages, ranging from 0.4% to 1.7% in recent years.

When comparing Long Middle to nearby schools within the same district, such as Field Middle and Perry Middle, the performance gap becomes even more pronounced.
