Summary:
Stanton, Texas is home to a single middle school, Stanton Middle, which serves 251 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Stanton Independent School District (Isd).
Stanton Middle shows a clear strength in mathematics, consistently outperforming state averages in 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade math. Most notably, 100% of its 8th graders taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, far exceeding the state average of 54%. However, this likely reflects a small, high-performing group of students, as the district average is much lower. The school also excels in 8th-grade reading, but struggles in 6th and 7th-grade reading, as well as 8th-grade Social Studies, where proficiency rates fall below state averages. With a low student-teacher ratio of 9.5:1, the school has the resources for small class sizes, yet this advantage does not translate into top-tier performance across all subjects.
Performance has been somewhat volatile, with the school's state ranking dropping to the 52nd percentile in 2024-2025 before rebounding to the 64th percentile in 2025-2026. The school's dropout rate is low at 0.6%, and spending is $13,709 per student. For parents, Stanton Middle offers a strong math program and a supportive environment, but may need to focus on improving reading skills in the lower grades and social studies instruction for 8th graders.
