Summary:
The Memphis Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Memphis Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking as high as 540th out of 2,330 Texas middle schools in 2022-2023 but dropping to 1,080th out of 2,344 in 2024-2025.
Memphis Middle's academic proficiency rates on STAAR tests vary across subjects and grade levels, with some areas performing better than others. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 42.11% in 6th-grade reading to 58.62% in 7th-grade mathematics. Compared to district and state averages, Memphis Middle's STAAR scores are generally lower, though the school does have some bright spots, such as its 7th-grade mathematics performance.
Despite its fluctuating performance, Memphis Middle has a relatively small student population of 84 and a low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.2. However, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 78.57% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's higher-than-average spending per student of $13,551 in 2020-2021 may be an effort to address these socioeconomic challenges and support student success.
