Summary

Ad Wheat Middle in Cleburne, TX, serves 998 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Cleburne Independent School District (Isd), a district where nearly 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school has historically ranked in the lower percentiles statewide.

The school’s most notable strength is its advanced math program: an impressive 88.14% of students taking Algebra I were proficient in 2025-2026, a rate comparable to top-performing nearby schools like Steam Middle (94.55%) and Nick Kerr Middle (87.12%). However, this success contrasts sharply with grade-level math, where only 13.35% of 7th graders met proficiency—less than half the state average. Reading proficiency is also a consistent weakness, with 7th and 8th graders scoring well below state averages. The school’s dropout rate of 1.3% is higher than most nearby middle schools, many of which report rates near 0.0%.

Compared to other schools in the area, Ad Wheat Middle is the lowest-performing, while Tom And Nita Nichols Middle (76th percentile) and R C Loflin Middle (77th percentile) achieve much higher overall rankings. The school spends $11,129 per student—more than many higher-performing peers—and has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.3, suggesting that improvement may require a strategic re-evaluation of curriculum and support for struggling students rather than additional funding.
