Summary:
The Tuloso-Midway Independent School District (Isd) serves 3,671 students across five schools in Texas, including two elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools, and holds a 2-star rating from the state.
For parents, the standout school is Tuloso-Midway Middle, which earns a 4-star rating and ranks in the 74th percentile among Texas middle schools, consistently beating state averages in 8th-grade Reading, Math, and Social Studies with a 0% dropout rate. In contrast, Tuloso-Midway High School offers strong stability with a 98.7% graduation rate and performs above state averages in Biology and English, though it struggles in Algebra I and U.S. History. The Tuloso-Midway Academic Career Center is a small alternative program serving 32 highly at-risk students, with the highest per-student spending ($26,305) but critically low test scores, often at 0% proficiency. Among elementary schools, Tuloso-Midway Pri serves 779 students with a 60.98% economic disadvantage rate, while Tuloso-Midway Intermediate consistently underperforms state averages in all subjects, especially Math, where proficiency rates hover in the high 30s to low 40s.
Key takeaways include a "middle school peak" where performance drops at the high school level, suggesting a curriculum alignment issue, and an "elementary slide" in Math that likely feeds into Algebra I struggles. Spending does not guarantee success, as the lowest-spending schools serve the most economically disadvantaged students yet show below-average performance, while the highest-spending Career Center has the lowest outcomes. The district's overall high school ranking is likely pulled down by the Career Center's extreme scores, masking the main high school's relative success.
