Summary:
The Argyle Independent School District (Isd) is home to two middle-level schools—Argyle Middle (serving grades 7-8) and Argyle 6th Grade Center (serving grade 6 only)—which together enroll 1,461 students in a top-ranked Texas district known for its 5-star rating and 98th percentile state ranking.
Argyle Middle stands out as the academic powerhouse, particularly in advanced math: its Algebra I End-of-Course exam proficiency reached 92.03% in 2025-2026, nearly double the state average. However, the school shows a notable dip in 7th-grade math proficiency (51.01%), suggesting the transition year is a challenge for general math students before they rebound in 8th grade. In contrast, Argyle 6th Grade Center excels at early acceleration, with a perfect 100% proficiency rate among 6th graders taking the 7th-grade math exam. The 6th Grade Center also spends $1,492 more per student ($10,557 vs. $9,065) and has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio (17.8:1 vs. 18.6:1), indicating a targeted investment in foundational learning.
Reading is a consistent strength across both schools, with proficiency rates between 74% and 80%, outperforming the state by 20-25 points. The weakest subject is 8th-grade Social Studies at Argyle Middle (64.79% proficiency), though this still far exceeds the state average of 31.69%. Both schools maintain a 0% dropout rate and have held 5-star ratings for three consecutive years. The district’s decision to separate 6th graders into a dedicated center appears to pay off, creating a strong math pipeline, while the 7th-grade math curriculum at Argyle Middle may benefit from additional support to smooth the transition for non-accelerated students.
