Summary:

The Monte Alto Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one middle school, Jose Borrego Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 1002 out of 2330 Texas middle schools in 2022-2023 to 1873 out of 2344 in 2024-2025.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,637 for the 2020-2021 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 for the 2023-2024 school year, the academic performance data indicates that these resources may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. The school's dropout rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 1.3%.
