Summary:
The Springtown Independent School District (Isd) is home to two middle-level schools serving grades 5 through 8: Springtown Middle (grades 7-8) and Springtown Intermediate (grades 5-6). The district, ranked in the 56th percentile statewide, serves a community where a majority of students are economically disadvantaged, with Springtown Intermediate having a higher free/reduced lunch rate (52.12%) compared to Springtown Middle (47.39%).
Springtown Middle stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced math, with 88.06% of students proficient in Algebra I in 2025-2026—far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. However, this creates a "two-tier" math department, as only 41.94% of 8th graders were proficient in standard math. The school also shows an improving state ranking, moving from the 30th to the 36th percentile, and has a lower student-teacher ratio (12.8:1) than Springtown Intermediate (14.5:1). In contrast, Springtown Intermediate demonstrates stability in reading, with proficiency rates between 44.69% and 48.55%, but struggles significantly in 5th-grade science, where only 18.93% of students were proficient—the lowest rate across both schools.
Key weaknesses include social studies at Springtown Middle, where only 21.2% of 8th graders were proficient in 2025-2026, and the "5th Grade Science Slump" at Springtown Intermediate. Despite nearly identical spending per student ($10,380 vs. $10,241), Springtown Middle’s additional resources have not translated into dramatically better overall scores, raising questions about resource deployment. On a positive note, 7th-grade reading at Springtown Middle improved to 50.17% proficiency, and the school’s dropout rate of 1.3% is half the district’s average of 2.6%.
