Summary

Henry Scott Middle is a public middle school located in Denison, Texas, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 750 students. It is part of the Denison Independent School District, which is ranked 657 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Henry Scott Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools, with a ranking between 705-1428 out of around 2,300 schools over the past 5-10 years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 21-53% across different subjects and grade levels. However, the school's performance on the Algebra I EOC exam is exceptional, with proficiency rates consistently high (94-98%) compared to the district and state. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than the state average, but these resources do not seem to be effectively driving student achievement.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Henry Scott Middle performs better than some, such as Piner Middle and Sherman Middle, but still lags behind higher-performing schools like Whitewright Middle, Howe Middle, Tom Bean Middle, and Pritchard J.H. The school's exceptional performance on the Algebra I EOC exam suggests that it may be effectively preparing a subset of its students for advanced coursework, but overall, Henry Scott Middle faces significant challenges in improving academic achievement across most subject areas.
