Summary:
Anahuac Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single middle school, Anahuac Middle, which serves 336 students in grades 6 through 8 in a small-to-mid-sized community setting. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1, and just over half of its students (50.6%) are eligible for free or reduced lunch, indicating a moderate level of economic diversity.
Anahuac Middle shows a mixed academic profile with notable bright spots and clear challenges. The school is a standout in advanced math, with 81.48% of students proficient in Algebra I in 2024-2025, far exceeding the state average of 47.01%. Similarly, 8th-grade math proficiency (47.75%) actually surpassed the state average that same year. However, the school struggles significantly in 7th-grade math, where only 5.62% of students were proficient in 2025-2026 compared to the state average of 29.41%. Social studies is another persistent weakness, with 8th-grade proficiency hovering around 20%, roughly 10 points below the state average. On a positive note, the school reported a 0.0% dropout rate for 2023-2024, reflecting strong student retention.
Despite these pockets of strength, Anahuac Middle has seen its state ranking decline from the 35th percentile in 2023-2024 to a projected 17th percentile in 2025-2026. This drop is not due to a collapse in test scores, but rather because other schools across Texas are improving at a faster pace. The school’s overall proficiency across most subjects remains below state averages, making the exceptional performance in 8th-grade math and Algebra I stand out even more. For parents, this school offers a strong advanced math track and a safe, low-dropout environment, but also faces clear instructional challenges in 7th-grade math and social studies that warrant attention.
