Summary:
There is one middle school, New Boston Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in the New Boston Independent School District (Isd), a district located in a rural area of Texas with a total enrollment of 240 students.
New Boston Middle shows standout performance in advanced math, with 100% of 8th graders taking Algebra I scoring proficient or above for two consecutive years, nearly double the state average. The school also excels in 7th grade math, where 53.25% of students were proficient compared to the state average of 29.41%. However, performance varies by subject; while math scores significantly exceed state averages, reading proficiency lags behind, particularly for 6th graders where only 39.73% were proficient versus the state average of 53.52%. The school has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.2:1, which supports individualized attention, and spends $12,317 per student. Its overall state ranking places it in the 62nd percentile, earning a 3-star rating, though rankings have fluctuated over recent years.
Despite a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (84.17%), New Boston Middle achieves strong results in several subjects, particularly math and social studies. The school's performance is identical to the district's on standard STAAR tests, as it is the only middle school in the district. The Algebra I results are a notable strength, though they reflect a small group of advanced students. The school's volatility in test scores and rankings suggests that year-to-year changes in a small student population can significantly impact metrics, making it important for parents to consider trends over time rather than single-year data.
