Summary:
The Quanah Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single middle school, Travis Middle, which serves grades 6 through 8 with a small enrollment of 95 students in the rural community of Quanah, Texas.
Travis Middle stands out for its exceptional advanced math program, with 83.33% of students proficient in Algebra I, dramatically outperforming the state average of 54.03%. However, this success contrasts sharply with the school's overall math performance, where only 23.81% of 8th graders were proficient in grade-level math, well below the state's 47.24%. The school has shown a strong positive trend in its state ranking, jumping from the 30th percentile to the 46th percentile in the 2025-2026 school year. Reading scores are a relative strength, with 7th graders achieving 58.06% proficiency, exceeding the state average of 54.04%. The school benefits from an excellent 9.4:1 student-teacher ratio and a 0% dropout rate, indicating a supportive environment despite a high poverty rate of 78.95% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.
Key metrics show significant year-over-year volatility, common in small schools where a single cohort can heavily influence results. For instance, 7th-grade reading jumped from 43.33% to 58.06%, while 6th-grade reading dropped from 58.82% to 44.44%. The school's spending per student is $13,613. Overall, Travis Middle is a small, high-poverty school with a strong support system and a promising upward trend, but it faces a clear challenge in improving foundational math proficiency for the majority of its students while continuing to excel in its advanced math program.
