Summary

George Washington Middle is a public middle school in Laredo, Texas, serving 1,093 students in grades 6-8 as part of the United Independent School District. This school consistently outperforms district and state averages on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests, with particularly strong results in reading and Algebra I. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, George Washington Middle's STAAR Reading proficiency rates were 62.69%, 53.8%, and 63.49% for grades 6-8, compared to the district's 59.54%, 55.61%, and 62.75%, and the state's 54.21%, 51.69%, and 56.39%.

George Washington Middle's performance also stands out when compared to nearby schools. It generally outperforms other United ISD middle schools, such as United South Middle and Antonio Gonzalez Middle. However, Trautmann Middle and United Middle within the same district have consistently higher STAAR proficiency rates. Nearby Laredo ISD middle schools, such as Memorial Middle, Lamar Middle, and Christen Middle, generally have lower academic performance compared to George Washington Middle.

Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low socio-economic backgrounds, with 78.41% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, George Washington Middle has been able to maintain strong academic performance, particularly for its Hispanic and low-income student populations. This is a notable achievement, especially given the school's per-student spending has decreased in recent years. George Washington Middle's ability to support its diverse student body and outperform nearby schools is a testament to the school's effective practices and resource allocation.
