Middle Schools in Harlandale Independent School District (Isd)

The Harlandale Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 6 middle schools that serve students in grades 6-8. These schools, which include Harlandale Middle, Terrell Wells Middle, A Leal Junior Middle, Kingsborough Middle, Tejeda Junior Academy, and Hac Daep Middle, serve a diverse student population with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the middle schools in the Harlandale ISD, a few stand out in terms of academic performance. Terrell Wells Middle outperforms the district and state averages in several STAAR test subjects, particularly in 8th grade Mathematics and Algebra I, where it has the highest proficiency rates among the middle schools. A Leal Junior Middle also performs above the district average in most STAAR test subjects, with the highest 8th grade Reading proficiency rate. Additionally, Kingsborough Middle outperforms the district average in 6th grade Reading and 8th grade Science.

Despite the variations in academic performance, all middle schools in the Harlandale ISD share a common 1.8% dropout rate. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.02% to 94.44%, suggests a significant level of economic disadvantage within the district. The differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios may also contribute to the performance differences observed among the middle schools.
