Summary

Otto Middle is a public middle school located in Plano, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 969 students. It is part of the Plano Independent School District, which is ranked 230 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past 10 years, Otto Middle has consistently ranked in the top 15-25% of middle schools in Texas, with a current ranking of 404 out of 2,344 Texas middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

Otto Middle consistently outperforms the state and district averages in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subjects, with particularly impressive results in Algebra I, where the school's end-of-course proficiency rate reached 94.41% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district (54.45%) and state (47.01%) averages. The school also maintains very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.8% over the past few years, which are well below the state and district averages. Additionally, Otto Middle has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1, which is lower than the nearby schools and likely contributes to the school's academic success.

While Otto Middle outperforms the state and district averages, it is not the top-performing school in the immediate area. Both Raymond B. Cooper J.H. (in the Wylie ISD) and Murphy Middle have higher rankings and stronger academic results than Otto Middle, particularly in mathematics and science. Additionally, the nearby schools with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students, such as Bowman Middle and Webb Middle (both in the Garland ISD), have lower academic performance compared to Otto Middle.
