Summary:
The Eagle Mt-Saginaw Independent School District (Isd) is home to six middle schools serving grades 6 through 8, with a combined enrollment of about 5,440 students, and the district as a whole ranks in the 32nd percentile of Texas districts, indicating performance below the state average.
Creekview Middle stands out as the highest-performing school, ranking in the 55th percentile, with strong scores in 8th Grade Math and Science that exceed state averages. Wayside Middle is a consistent performer and a leader in advanced math, with an exceptional 98.03% of its Algebra I students proficient, far above the district and state averages. In contrast, Prairie Vista and Marine Creek Middle are the lowest-performing, both with 1-star ratings and rankings in the bottom quartile. Educational Willkie Middle shows a unique strength in 8th Grade Social Studies, where its proficiency rate surpasses the state average. Highland Middle has the smallest enrollment at 700 students and the lowest student-to-teacher ratio of 13.4.
A key takeaway is the district's phenomenal success in Algebra I, where all six schools dramatically outperform state averages, suggesting a highly effective district-wide math strategy. However, a concerning trend is a severe drop in math proficiency from 6th to 7th grade, with the district average falling from 26.47% to just 7.66%, a steeper decline than the state average. Additionally, per-student spending does not correlate with performance, as top schools like Wayside and Creekview spend less than lower-performing schools like Educational Willkie and Highland. Finally, most schools are experiencing declining state rankings, indicating the district may be losing ground compared to other Texas schools.
