Caldwell Intermediate

Public Grades 4-6
Summary

Caldwell Intermediate in Caldwell, TX, serves 439 students in grades 4 through 6 within the Caldwell Independent School District (Isd), a district with a solid 3-star rating.

This school shows clear strengths and areas for growth. A standout is 6th-grade math, where 47% of students are proficient—well above the state average of 38.6% and far exceeding nearby schools like Jane Long (24.2%) and Somerville Intermediate (30.9%). This suggests effective math instruction for older students. Fourth-grade reading is also a consistent bright spot, with 57.5% proficiency in the most recent year, outperforming the state. However, 5th-grade reading has been volatile, dropping from 61% proficiency in 2022-2023 to 44.7% in 2024-2025, before a partial recovery to 52.1%—still below the state average of 58.5%. Science scores are also a concern, consistently lagging slightly behind state averages. Overall, math performance is trending upward, while reading has stagnated or declined.

Compared to nearby schools, Caldwell Intermediate performs notably better than the higher-poverty Bryan Independent School District (Isd) schools, such as Arthur L Davila Middle and Jane Long, in nearly every subject. Yet, it trails the high-performing Milano J H, which serves a similar percentage of economically disadvantaged students but benefits from much smaller class sizes (a 9.9:1 student-teacher ratio versus Caldwell's 16:1). This comparison highlights that while Caldwell Intermediate has pockets of excellence, its primary challenge is stabilizing 5th-grade reading and improving science instruction to ensure consistent success across all grades.
