Summary:
The Henrietta Independent School District (Isd) contains a single middle school, Henrietta Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 with 216 students in a small, rural Texas community.
Henrietta Middle presents a mixed picture for parents. On the positive side, the school boasts a low student-teacher ratio of 11.6:1 and spending of $12,734 per student, suggesting ample resources. Its standout strength is in advanced math: 73.68% of 8th graders taking Algebra I were proficient in 2025-2026, dramatically exceeding state averages. However, this success masks significant struggles. The school's state ranking has dropped sharply from the 69th percentile (3 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 41st percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026, a 28-point decline. Performance in standard math is below state averages across all grades, with 7th-grade math proficiency at just 13.95% in 2025-2026. Social Studies is a critical weakness, with only 16.18% of 8th graders proficient—roughly half the state average. Reading results are inconsistent: 6th and 8th graders perform near state averages, but 7th graders lag significantly at 45.45% proficiency versus the state's 54.04%.
The most important takeaway is that despite favorable resources, Henrietta Middle is on a clear downward trajectory in relative performance. The school excels at accelerating top math students into Algebra I, but this may overshadow the needs of students in standard math tracks. The 0.0% dropout rate is a positive indicator, but the persistent gaps in Social Studies and 7th-grade math and reading suggest a need for targeted instructional improvements. Parents should investigate how the school supports students who are not in the advanced math program and how it plans to address the declining state ranking.
