Summary:
The Honey Grove Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single middle school, Honey Grove Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 with a modest enrollment of 142 students. This school consistently stands out for its strong academic performance, having earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for three consecutive years and ranking in the 83rd to 89th percentile among Texas middle schools. Despite nearly 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school achieves above-average results across core subjects, with a student-teacher ratio of 14.2:1 and a perfect 0.0% dropout rate.
Key metrics reveal that Honey Grove Middle excels particularly in mathematics, where its average proficiency of 57.03% outpaces the state average of 38.41% by over 18 percentage points. The 8th grade is a standout, with 79.66% proficiency in math compared to the state's 47.24%, and 78.05% in reading versus the state's 55.42%. However, the school shows notable volatility in 7th grade, where math proficiency dropped from 73.81% in 2024-2025 to 39.13% in 2025-2026, and reading fell from 78.57% to 60.98% over the same period. Social studies remains a consistent weakness, with only 39.02% of 8th graders proficient in 2025-2026, though still above the state average of 31.69%.
Overall, Honey Grove Middle is a high-performing school that effectively supports its students despite economic challenges. The 8th grade appears to be a peak performance year, suggesting strong preparation and effective teaching in earlier grades. Parents should note the school's strengths in math and reading, while being aware of the year-over-year fluctuations in 7th grade and the need for continued focus on social studies. The school's low student-teacher ratio and zero dropout rate are strong indicators of a supportive learning environment.
