Summary:
The Millsap Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single middle school, Millsap Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 with an enrollment of 251 students and a favorable 13:1 student-teacher ratio. This small, close-knit school stands out as a "math magnet" in the region, consistently achieving exceptional results in mathematics that far exceed state averages, particularly in 7th grade where proficiency rates (66.67% in 2025-2026) more than double the state average of 29.41%. The school also boasts an outstanding Algebra I program, with 84.62% of advanced 8th graders scoring proficient compared to just 54.03% statewide, signaling strong college readiness and STEM pathways for its top students.
However, the school's performance reveals a clear tale of two subjects. While math is a clear strength, 8th-grade Social Studies is a significant weakness, with only 23.16% of students proficient in 2025-2026, well below the state average of 31.69%. Reading scores are mixed, with 6th and 7th graders slightly below state averages, while 8th graders perform slightly above. This imbalance suggests that the school's instructional focus or resources may be unevenly distributed, and the overall state ranking has declined from the 79th percentile (4 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 64th percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026, likely due to weaker performance in non-math subjects dragging down the composite score.
Key metrics show a school with strong fundamentals but room for improvement. The student-teacher ratio of 13:1 supports individualized instruction, and the dropout rate is a perfect 0.0%. With 41.83% of students economically disadvantaged and spending of $11,140 per student, the school is effectively leveraging its resources in math but must address the disparity in Social Studies and Reading to reverse its ranking decline. For parents, Millsap Middle offers an excellent math program and a supportive small-school environment, but they should be aware of the need for additional support in social studies and reading to ensure a well-rounded education.
