Middle Schools in Holliday Independent School District (Isd)

The Holliday Independent School District (Isd) is home to one middle school, Holliday Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 and has a total enrollment of 261 students. The district itself is highly ranked, placing 82nd out of 951 school districts in Texas, earning a 5-star rating and placing it in the 91st percentile statewide.

Holliday Middle stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced coursework and student retention. The school reports a perfect 0.0% dropout rate and boasts a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.7:1, which supports smaller class sizes and more individualized attention. Its Algebra I program is a major highlight: in the 2024-2025 school year, 100% of tested students were proficient, and in 2025-2026, 95.45% were proficient—far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. The school also shows strong and consistent performance in Reading across all grades, with proficiency rates ranging from 68.97% to 79.57%, significantly outpacing state averages. The school has maintained a top 20% state ranking over the past three years, with its most recent ranking at 305 out of 2,335 schools (87th percentile).

However, the data reveals some areas needing attention. While 8th-grade general math is strong (74.71% proficient vs. 47.24% state), 7th-grade math proficiency dropped sharply from 73.86% to 37.33% year-over-year, suggesting that the strongest math students are taking Algebra I, leaving a less proficient cohort in standard classes. Social Studies is also a relative weakness, with only 39.78% of 8th graders proficient in 2025-2026, though this is still above the state average of 31.69%. Additionally, 8th-grade science scores from 2024-2025 (37.8%) fell below the state average (46.25%), indicating another subject to monitor. Overall, Holliday Middle is a high-performing school with a strong advanced math program and excellent reading scores, but it should focus on improving general math proficiency in 7th grade and Social Studies to ensure consistent excellence across all subjects.
