Summary:
La Grange Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single middle school, La Grange Middle, which serves grades 7 and 8 with an enrollment of 309 students and a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 12.9:1. The school has shown a clear upward trajectory in its state ranking, moving from the 68th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 80th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 4-star rating. With 50.16% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school provides a personalized learning environment that supports consistent improvement across multiple subjects.
The standout performance at La Grange Middle is in advanced mathematics, where 100% of 8th graders taking Algebra I were proficient in 2025-2026, dramatically outperforming the state average of 54.03%. The school also excels in 8th grade math, with 68.29% proficiency compared to the state's 47.24%, and shows consistent strength in reading, where 7th graders scored 61.22% and 8th graders scored 63.89%—both above state averages. A remarkable turnaround occurred in 7th grade math, where proficiency jumped from 22.34% in 2024-2025 to 32.56% in 2025-2026, surpassing the state average. Additionally, 8th grade social studies proficiency stands at 40.28%, well above the state's 31.69%.
Key metrics highlight the school's broad-based improvement: proficiency increased in nearly every subject between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, and the school reported a 0.0% dropout rate. The low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.9:1 likely contributes to this success, enabling targeted interventions like the 7th grade math turnaround. Per-student spending was $11,465 in 2020-2021. While the perfect Algebra I score reflects a highly selective cohort, the overall upward trend in state ranking and consistent outperformance of state averages in reading, math, and social studies suggest a school-wide culture of academic growth and effective instruction.
