Summary:
The Anson Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single middle school, Anson Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 with 163 students in the Anson, Texas area. This school stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced coursework and a very low student-teacher ratio, though it faces clear challenges in mathematics compared to reading.
Anson Middle demonstrates a notable strength in reading, particularly in 8th grade where 67.39% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, outperforming the state average of 58.69%. The school also excels in Algebra I, with 70% of students taking the End-of-Course exam achieving proficiency—far above the district average of 33.33% and the state average of 54.03%. This suggests the school effectively accelerates high-achieving students. Additionally, the school maintains a 0.0% dropout rate despite over 56% of students being economically disadvantaged, and its student-teacher ratio of 9.3:1 is very low, allowing for personalized instruction. The school spends $14,464 per student, reflecting a significant investment in resources.
However, a stark contrast exists between reading and math performance. In the 2025-2026 school year, 8th-grade math proficiency was only 28.26%, nearly 19 percentage points below the state average of 47.24%, and 6th and 7th grade math scores also lagged. This indicates a critical need for targeted math intervention. The school’s state ranking has improved from the 41st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 57th percentile in 2025-2026, but year-over-year grade-level scores show volatility, suggesting performance may depend heavily on specific student cohorts. Overall, Anson Middle offers a supportive environment with strong reading and advanced math programs, but must address inconsistent math outcomes to ensure all students succeed.
