Summary

Navo Middle in Aubrey, TX, is a public school serving 699 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Denton Independent School District (Isd). The school currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 35th percentile of Texas middle schools, reflecting a significant decline from its 4-star status a decade ago.

The most pressing concern for parents is the school's math performance. Only 11% of 7th graders were proficient in math, compared to 29.4% statewide. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Trent Middle (74.5% proficient) and Griffin Middle (64% proficient) in the Frisco Independent School District (Isd). While Algebra I scores are high (82.8% proficient), this likely reflects a small group of advanced students, not the majority. Reading is a relative strength, with 8th-grade proficiency at 54.3% (close to the state average of 58.7%), but still far behind Frisco ISD schools where rates reach 80-88%.

The school shows a clear split in effectiveness: it performs reasonably well for White, Hispanic, and Asian students (56th-61st percentile), but struggles significantly with low-income students (16th percentile) and special education students (13th percentile). Notably, 54.7% of students receive free or reduced lunch, a much higher rate than nearby Frisco ISD schools (e.g., Trent Middle at 8.6%). While a same-district neighbor, Pat Hagan Cheek Middle, recently improved to the 56th percentile, Navo Middle has continued its downward trend, suggesting school-specific challenges that parents should investigate further.

Open Quote Would be a great school, if it weren't for all the bullies. So many horrible things go on at Navo. I've gone home crying many times. Call the vice principal (not the principal), he'll tell you everything. Close Quote
