Summary

Bullard Middle in Bullard, TX, serves 478 students in grades 7 and 8 within the highly-rated Bullard Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 91st percentile statewide. This school stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced mathematics, with 97.01% of students proficient in Algebra I—nearly double the state average of 54.03% and far outpacing nearby schools like Troup Middle (79.31%). It also boasts a low student-to-teacher ratio of 13:1, offering more personalized attention than Hubbard Middle (16.5:1) or Three Lakes Middle (16.4:1).

However, Bullard Middle shows a notable weakness in 8th-grade mathematics, where only 46.5% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—below the state average of 47.24%. This contrasts sharply with Whitehouse J H, where 69.64% of 8th graders met proficiency. While the school excels in reading, consistently scoring 10-20 points above the state average, its overall state ranking has declined from the 94th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 79th percentile, a trend worth monitoring. Additionally, the school serves a relatively affluent student body, with only 21.76% qualifying for free or reduced lunch—the lowest among comparable schools like Jacksonville Middle (88.55%) or Three Lakes Middle (58.54%).

Despite its overall high performance, Bullard Middle reveals significant disparities in serving student subgroups. It is highly effective with Hispanic and Multi-racial students, ranking in the 86th and 77th percentiles respectively, but shows a critical weakness with African American students, ranking in the 28th percentile. Support for Special Education students is also inconsistent, swinging from the 68th percentile to the 29th percentile in recent years. Compared to its feeder school, Bullard Intermediate, Bullard Middle builds on academic foundations, particularly in reading and advanced math. Overall, it remains a clear academic leader in the region, outperforming schools in Tyler, Jacksonville, and Troup ISDs, with its closest competitor being Whitehouse J H, which matches or exceeds it in some areas but has a larger, more diverse student body.
