Summary:
The Bosqueville Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single middle school, Bosqueville Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 in Waco, Texas, with a total enrollment of 183 students. This school offers a strong reading program, with 6th and 8th graders consistently outperforming the state average—for example, 74% of 6th graders were proficient in reading in the 2025-2026 school year compared to the state average of 53.52%. However, the school faces a significant challenge in mathematics, particularly in 7th grade, where only 6.67% of students were proficient in math in 2025-2026, far below the state average of 29.41%. This stark contrast between reading and math performance is the school's most notable characteristic.
Key metrics for Bosqueville Middle include a volatile state ranking, which dropped from the 60th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 47th percentile in 2024-2025, before rebounding to the 64th percentile in 2025-2026. The school benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1, which supports individualized attention, and a 0.0% dropout rate. A standout anomaly occurred in the 2024-2025 school year when 100% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, a massive outlier compared to the state average of 47.01%, though this dropped to 50% the following year, likely due to a small, selective cohort. The school also saw a dramatic 215% improvement in 6th-grade math proficiency from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, rising from 12.31% to 38.78%.
For parents, the most important takeaway is that Bosqueville Middle excels in reading but struggles significantly in math, especially in 7th grade. The school's low student-teacher ratio and low percentage of economically disadvantaged students (37.16% qualifying for free or reduced lunch) are positive indicators, yet the math underperformance suggests a need for targeted curriculum review. The school's "V-shaped" recovery in state ranking and the rapid improvement in 6th-grade math show potential for positive change, but the persistent math weakness remains a critical area for parents to investigate when considering this school.
