Summary

Callisburg Middle in Callisburg, TX, serves 287 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Callisburg Independent School District (Isd), a small district in a rural area north of Dallas.

This school is a study in contrasts. On one hand, it is a statewide standout for its Gifted and Talented program, ranking 2nd out of 1,497 schools in Texas—a 5-star achievement that far exceeds any nearby school. Its Algebra I program is also exceptional, with 93.75% of students proficient on the End-of-Course exam, compared to the state average of 54%. However, the school struggles significantly in other areas. Overall, Callisburg Middle holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 51st percentile, a notable decline from its peak in the mid-2010s when it consistently earned 4-star ratings. In contrast, nearby Whitesboro Middle has remained more stable, ranking in the 65th percentile and outperforming Callisburg in reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, 73.81% of Whitesboro’s 8th graders were proficient in reading versus 50.54% at Callisburg. Additionally, Callisburg’s math proficiency for 6th and 7th graders falls below state averages, suggesting the school excels at accelerating a few students into advanced math but may struggle with foundational skills for the majority.

Despite these academic challenges, the school offers a positive learning environment with a 0.0% dropout rate over the past five years and a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 13.9:1. Social studies is a persistent weakness, with 8th-grade scores consistently below the state average, while the school’s performance with Hispanic students ranks in the 7th percentile, indicating a critical equity gap. For parents, Callisburg Middle is an excellent choice for high-achieving students seeking a top-tier Gifted program, but those concerned with overall academic consistency or support for diverse learners may want to compare it to more balanced options like S And S Cons Middle or Whitesboro Middle.
