Summary

Iltexas Msg Ramirez Middle is a small-to-mid-sized middle school in Cleveland, TX, serving 455 students in grades 6-8 as part of the International Leadership Of Texas (Iltexas) charter district. The school faces significant academic challenges, with overall state rankings consistently in the bottom 5% of Texas middle schools over the past three years, earning it a 0-star rating. Over 95% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a rate matched only by its sister school, Iltexas Bg Ramirez Middle, and Santa Fe Middle.

The most striking bright spot is the school's exceptional performance in English I Reading, where 8th-grade students achieved 100% proficiency on the End-of-Course exam in the most recent year—far exceeding the state average of 55.43%. This suggests a highly effective program for the specific cohort taking this advanced exam. Additionally, English Language Learner (ELL) students have shown remarkable improvement, jumping from the 1st percentile statewide to the 19th percentile, earning the school's only 1-star rating for any subgroup. However, these successes contrast sharply with extreme underperformance in core subjects: only 20% of 8th graders were proficient in Reading (vs. 58.69% statewide) and just 9.16% in Social Studies (vs. 31.69% statewide).

Compared to nearby schools, Iltexas Msg Ramirez Middle lags significantly behind high-performing peers like Riverwood Middle and Creekwood Middle, which serve far fewer economically disadvantaged students. Even its sister school, Iltexas Bg Ramirez Middle, performs slightly better overall (6th percentile vs. 4th percentile). On a positive note, 6th-grade Math proficiency has improved dramatically—from 4.2% to 23.74% over two years—suggesting recent instructional changes may be taking effect. While the school's Algebra I scores (29.51% proficiency) are higher than its 8th-grade Math scores (11.69%), they remain well below the 87.88% proficiency seen at Pine Valley Middle, indicating that even its advanced math students are not performing at the level of their peers in neighboring districts.
