Summary:

Zip code 74085 has one middle school, Yale Middle School, serving grades 6–8, with 71 students. In 2025–2026, 13% of students were proficient in ELA and 16% in mathematics, compared with state results of 26% and 25%, respectively. The most important takeaway is that both latest results remain below the state, although mathematics has moved closer.

There is no meaningful school-to-school standout because Yale is the only school listed. Within the school’s latest results, mathematics is the stronger subject: its 16% proficiency was 2 percentage points above the Yale district, while ELA proficiency of 13% was 8 points below the district’s 21%. Both subjects were below state results: mathematics by 9 points and ELA by 13. In 2024–2025, science proficiency was 14%, compared with 16% for the district and 30% statewide.

Mathematics improved while ELA slipped between the two reported years: math proficiency rose from 9% in 2024–2025 to 16% in 2025–2026, while ELA moved from 14% to 13%. The math gap with the state narrowed from 17 to 9 points, but the ELA gap widened from 12 to 13 points. Yale Middle School was ranked 344th of 369 schools by SchoolDigger in 2024–2025, at the 7th percentile, with 0 stars; it had been at the 46th percentile in 2020–2021. Context measures show 70% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025 and a student-teacher ratio of 18 that year. Chronic absenteeism was 9% in 2025–2026, above the district’s 7% but below the state’s 16%. Because this is a one-school list, it cannot show how results compare across nearby schools or relate to school characteristics.
