Summary

Memorial Middle in Laredo, TX, serves 679 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Laredo Independent School District (Isd), a 4-star district ranking in the top 27% of Texas districts. This school stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced mathematics, with 100% of its Algebra I students scoring proficient for four consecutive years, far exceeding district and state averages. However, this success contrasts sharply with a critical weakness: only 10% of 7th graders were proficient in math in 2025-2026, the lowest among nearby schools like Trautmann Middle and United Middle, which serve students with lower poverty rates. This suggests a possible focus on advanced math for select students, leaving many 7th graders struggling.

Memorial Middle is a leader in its district, consistently outranking peers like Joaquin Cigarroa Middle and Christen Middle, and is the only Laredo ISD middle school to earn a 3-star rating in the most recent year. It excels in supporting Special Education students, ranking in the 91st percentile statewide and earning a 5-star rating, far outperforming nearby schools. Additionally, it effectively serves economically disadvantaged students, with over 97% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranking in the 73rd and 79th percentiles for this group in recent years.

Despite these strengths, the school faces challenges. Its overall ranking dropped to the 41st percentile in 2025-2026, its lowest in recent years, with declines in performance for Hispanic students and English Language Learners. This potential downward trend, combined with the stark gap in 7th-grade math, suggests the school needs to focus on building a stronger foundation for all students. While Memorial Middle is a bright spot in its district, replicating its success in Algebra I and Special Education across all subjects and grade levels will be key to its future.
