Summary:
The analysis focuses on a single middle school, Terrie McNabb Middle, located in the Aubrey Independent School District (Isd) in Aubrey, Texas, serving grades 6 through 8 with an enrollment of 978 students.
Terrie McNabb Middle shows a clear upward trend in its state ranking, moving from the 57th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 65th percentile in 2025-2026, indicating improving performance relative to other Texas middle schools. The school's standout feature is its advanced math program: 100% of 8th graders taking Algebra I were proficient in 2025-2026, far exceeding the district average of 33.52% and the state average of 54.03%. However, grade-level math performance is inconsistent. While 8th-grade math proficiency is strong at 73.3% and 7th-grade is above average at 41.6%, 6th-grade math is a critical weakness at only 19.01% proficient—less than half the state average of 38.57%. Reading scores are generally near or above state averages across all grades, but 8th-grade Social Studies consistently lags behind both district and state averages.
Key metrics include a student-teacher ratio of 18.1:1, spending per student of $8,741 (below the Texas average), and a 0% dropout rate. About 34.25% of students are economically disadvantaged. The school appears to operate efficiently, achieving a rising ranking and zero dropouts despite lower spending. The significant gap between 6th-grade and 8th-grade math performance suggests a potential curriculum misalignment in 6th grade that needs attention, while the Algebra I results highlight a clear strength in advanced coursework. Year-over-year volatility in some test scores, such as 6th-grade reading dropping from 61.61% to 54.12%, underscores the need for stable, long-term instructional strategies.
