McKamy Middle

McKamy Middle in Flower Mound, TX, is a high-performing public school serving 757 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Lewisville Independent School District (Isd), consistently ranking in the top 5% of all Texas middle schools.

McKamy stands out for its exceptional academic performance across all core subjects, with near-perfect Algebra I proficiency rates (99-100%) for three consecutive years. In the most recent testing, the school achieved 82-88% proficiency in reading, 90% in 8th-grade math, and 65% in 8th-grade social studies—all dramatically higher than district and state averages. This consistency sets McKamy apart from nearby schools like Huffines Middle and Marshall Durham Middle, which rank in the bottom 10% of the state. While Briarhill Middle is also high-performing, its 8th-grade math proficiency (69.5%) is significantly lower than McKamy's (89.9%). The school also maintains a perfect 0.0% dropout rate for the last five years, reflecting a strong culture of student support.

An interesting pattern is the "7th-grade math dip" seen across the district, where McKamy's 7th-grade math proficiency (23.5%) falls below the state average (29.4%), despite excelling in every other subject. For context, Carroll Middle in the nearby Carroll Independent School District (Isd) outperforms McKamy in 8th-grade reading (89.6% vs. 88%), though McKamy's math is slightly higher (89.9% vs. 82.7%). McKamy achieves its top-tier results with lower per-student spending ($8,961) compared to lower-performing schools, suggesting efficient resource use. The school also earns 5-star ratings for serving diverse subgroups, including Hispanic, Multi-racial, Special Education, and Gifted & Talented students, though support for low-socioeconomic-status students is an area for continued focus.
