Better than 96% of Texas middle schools

Summary

Smithfield Middle in North Richland Hills, TX, is a high-performing public school serving 798 students in grades 6-8 within the Birdville Independent School District (Isd), consistently ranking in the 96th percentile statewide and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for over a decade.

Smithfield Middle stands out dramatically from its district peers. For example, in 6th-grade Math, Smithfield's proficiency rate (75.29%) is more than double that of the next best district school, North Ridge Middle (47.34%), and nearly triple that of North Richland Middle (24.20%). The school also achieves near-perfect scores on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam (99.15% proficiency), a high school-level test taken by advanced middle school students, compared to the district average of 63.3%. This elite performance even rivals top schools from neighboring districts like Indian Springs Middle in Keller Independent School District (Isd) and Colleyville Middle in Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District (Isd), with Smithfield often matching or exceeding their proficiency rates in core subjects.

While Smithfield excels across nearly all student groups, including English Language Learners and low socioeconomic status students, it is worth noting a temporary dip in its ranking for Special Education students in the 2024-2025 school year (68th percentile), which rebounded strongly to the 92nd percentile in 2025-2026. The school's low free/reduced lunch rate of 27.07% is significantly lower than its Birdville ISD peers like Richland Middle (75.04%) and Watauga Middle (70.28%), aligning more closely with affluent neighboring districts. This combination of exceptional academics, strong community support, and consistent performance makes Smithfield Middle a standout choice for families seeking a top-tier middle school experience.
