Summary:
The Tyler Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to four middle schools—Moore Middle, Three Lakes Middle, Boulter Middle, and Hubbard Middle—serving grades 6-8, and the district itself holds a 3-star rating, ranking in the 51st percentile statewide.
There is a clear performance divide among these schools. Three Lakes Middle is the standout performer, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 75th percentile, with top scores in reading and exceptional Algebra I proficiency (97.98%). Hubbard Middle is a strong contender, showing consistent improvement from the 54th to the 69th percentile over three years, and its 6th-grade reading scores are the highest in the district. In contrast, Boulter Middle is the most challenged, with a 1-star rating and an 11th percentile ranking, where only 8.55% of 8th graders were proficient in social studies. Moore Middle sits in the middle with a 3-star rating and 51st percentile rank, but its test scores are consistently below the district average in core subjects, despite a 99.06% Algebra I proficiency rate.
A key takeaway is that all four schools excel in Algebra I, with proficiency rates far exceeding the state average of 54.03%, suggesting a strong district-wide program for advanced math students. Dropout rates are very low across the board, with Hubbard Middle having the lowest at 0.2%. Student-teacher ratios are consistent, ranging from 15.5 to 16.5, and per-student spending is similar, from $8,946 to $9,789. For parents, Three Lakes Middle and Hubbard Middle are the top choices for strong overall academics, while Boulter Middle requires significant support, particularly in social studies.
