Summary

Midland Academy Charter School is a K-8 charter school in central Midland, TX, serving 421 students as a single-school district, and it has earned a solidly above-average 3-star rating from the state, ranking in the 66th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school stands out for its exceptional ability to develop strong readers, especially in the upper grades. For example, its 8th-grade reading proficiency rate of 91.3% is a remarkable 32.6 percentage points higher than the state average, a level of performance only rivaled by selective programs like Carver Center and James Bowie Fine Arts Academy. The school also offers a significant advantage by providing Algebra I to its 8th graders, achieving a 100% proficiency rate on the End-of-Course exam, allowing students to enter high school with credit already earned—something no nearby elementary school can match. Furthermore, Midland Academy is exceptionally effective at supporting its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide for this group, which is a powerful indicator of closing opportunity gaps compared to higher-poverty neighbors like South Elementary or De Zavala Elementary.

However, the school has a critical vulnerability: a catastrophic 4.76% proficiency rate in 7th-grade math, which is 24.65 points below the state average and the lowest score among all nearby schools for that subject. This stark contrast with its strong 6th and 8th-grade math scores suggests a specific, acute problem that demands immediate investigation. Additionally, while the school operates efficiently with lower per-student spending than the Midland Independent School District (Isd), its support for Special Education students has seen a dramatic decline, dropping from the 81st percentile to the 3rd percentile in recent years, a major area of concern for families with children who have special needs.
