Summary

Smith Middle is a public magnet charter school in Beaumont, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with 407 students. The school is part of the Beaumont Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 857 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Smith Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas middle schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating.

The school's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 23.53% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 54.21% statewide and 29.42% for the Beaumont ISD. Smith Middle also has consistently higher dropout rates, at 4.5% in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the state and district averages. Additionally, the school serves a high-need population, with 92.87% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Interestingly, the nearby middle schools in the Beaumont ISD, such as Odom Middle, M.L. King Middle, Vincent Middle, and Marshall Middle, generally outperform Smith Middle across academic measures, suggesting that there may be opportunities for improvement at Smith Middle through targeted interventions and additional resources.
