Summary

Borger Middle in Borger, TX, serves 337 students in grades 7 and 8 as part of the Borger Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 40th percentile statewide. The school has shown a volatile performance trend, peaking at a 4-star rating (78th percentile) in 2023-2024 before dropping to a 3-star rating (53rd percentile) in 2025-2026, making it a higher-risk, higher-reward choice compared to the more stable but lower-performing Sanford-Fritch J H, which has consistently ranked in the 30th to 51st percentile over the same period.

Borger Middle excels in advanced coursework, with 77.46% of students proficient in Algebra I and an impressive 96.97% proficient in English I Reading in 2025-2026—far exceeding district and state averages. However, this strength contrasts sharply with a "7th grade math slump," where only 20.88% of 7th graders were proficient in math in 2025-2026, well below the state average of 29.41%. Similarly, while the school accelerates top readers into high school-level English, standard 8th-grade reading proficiency was just 32.73% in 2025-2026, a 26-percentage-point gap from the state average. The school also shows strong support for special education students, who consistently rank in the top quartile (82nd percentile in 2025-2026), and gifted students, who rank in the 86th percentile.

Despite recent academic declines—including drops in performance for female, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students—Borger Middle maintains a consistent strength with a 0.0% dropout rate for four of the last five years, reflecting a strong commitment to keeping students enrolled. This stability in attendance, combined with its advanced coursework success and targeted subgroup support, makes the school a complex option for parents, offering both notable highs and areas needing improvement, particularly in 7th-grade math and standard 8th-grade reading.
