Summary:
The San Saba Independent School District (Isd) is home to a single middle school, San Saba Middle, which serves grades 5 through 8 and has an enrollment of 216 students, with a high percentage of students (73.15%) eligible for free or reduced lunch.
San Saba Middle shows a clear strength in reading, particularly for 7th graders, who achieved a 64.58% proficiency rate in the 2025-2026 school year—over 10 points above the state average. The school also excels in 8th grade Social Studies, with a 40.35% proficiency rate that is nearly 9 points above the state average. However, mathematics is a significant area of concern, as the school underperformed the state average in every grade level (5th through 8th), with deficits ranging from 1.41 to 12.67 percentage points. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.7:1 and a 0% dropout rate, indicating strong student retention and support.
Despite serving a population with high economic need, San Saba Middle has shown a consistent upward trend in its statewide ranking, moving from the 51st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 57th percentile in 2025-2026. The data also reveals significant year-over-year volatility in test scores, such as a 23.52-point drop in 5th grade Reading and a 15.82-point improvement in 8th grade Math, which may be due to small cohort sizes. Overall, the school demonstrates resilience and improvement, with reading as a standout subject and math as a key area for growth.
