The school's 3 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger indicates average performance compared to other Texas middle schools.

The school's fluctuating statewide ranking and socioeconomic factors are important considerations for parents and the community as they work to support student success at this lone middle school within the Simms Independent School District (Isd).
