Summary

Iltexas Arlington Middle is a public charter school in Arlington, TX, serving 370 students in grades 6 through 8 as part of the International Leadership Of Texas (Iltexas) district, which ranks in the 39th percentile statewide. The school serves a predominantly low-income community, with over 85% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and its overall academic performance has been consistently low, earning a 1-star rating from Schooldigger in recent years.

The school presents a striking contrast in its academic strengths and weaknesses. On one hand, it excels in advanced English coursework: in the 2025-2026 school year, 92.86% of 8th graders taking the high-school-level English I Reading exam were proficient, far exceeding the district average of 67.47% and the state average of 55.43%. On the other hand, the school struggles critically with 7th-grade mathematics, where 0% of students scored proficient on the STAAR Math exam for two consecutive years—the lowest score among all nearby schools, compared to a district average of 33.9%. This suggests that resources and effective teaching may be concentrated in specific areas, leaving foundational math skills behind. Additionally, the school spends significantly less per student (about $7,700) than neighboring schools, such as Ousley J H ($9,389) and Gunn J H ($11,578), which may impact resources and support programs.

Despite its academic challenges, the school maintains a very low dropout rate of 0.0%, indicating it successfully keeps students enrolled. However, performance for specific student groups has declined sharply, with White students dropping from the 52nd to the 10th percentile and Special Education students falling from the 57th to the 13th percentile over two years. Notably, Iltexas Arlington Middle is located just 0.44 miles from Arlington Classics Academy - Middle, a charter school with a much lower poverty rate (26.13%) and consistently high rankings in the 88th-90th percentile, highlighting how school choice in the area can lead to dramatically different educational environments.
