Summary:
ZIP code 67410 has one middle school, Abilene Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 319 students in the Abilene district. Because it is the only middle school in the local list, there is no meaningful school-to-school comparison. The most important finding is the sharp subject contrast in 2025–26: science was 47% versus 38% statewide, 9 points higher, while math was 37% versus 41%, 4 points lower; ELA was close to the state at 45.2% versus 45.9%.
Locally, Abilene is both the highest- and lowest-performing school by default, so its grade-level results offer a more useful comparison. Sixth-grade math stands out as a concern: 28% of students met the standard, compared with 41% statewide, 13 points lower. Eighth-grade math was stronger at 47% versus 40%, 7 points higher. ELA also varied by grade: sixth grade was 3 points below the state, while seventh grade was 9 points above and eighth grade was 2 points above. These differences show why the all-grade figures do not tell the whole story.
Results changed unevenly from 2024–25 to 2025–26. Science rose from 40% to 47% as the state result fell from 41% to 38%; the school’s gap shifted from 1 point below to 9 points above the state. ELA fell from 51% to 45% while the state rose from 44% to 46%, moving the school from 7 points above to 1 point below. Math increased from 35% to 37%, but remained 4 points below the state in both years. SchoolDigger gives the school three stars; its statewide rank moved from 130 of 362 to 147 of 368, and its percentile from 64 to 60. Context measures include a 12.4 student-teacher ratio, a 56% free/reduced-lunch rate, and 11% chronic absenteeism—5 points below the district and 7 below the state.
