Summary

Pat Hagan Cheek Middle in Aubrey, TX, serves 885 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Denton Independent School District (Isd), with nearly half of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

This school presents a fascinating contrast: its Algebra I program is exceptional, with 84% of students scoring proficient or above in 2025-2026—far exceeding the district average of 46% and rivaling top-performing schools like Trent Middle in Frisco ISD. However, grade-level math tells a different story, with only 12% of 7th graders proficient compared to the state average of 29%. This gap suggests the school excels at accelerating a select group of students into advanced coursework but struggles to ensure foundational math skills for the majority. Reading scores are a relative strength, hovering near district averages, but still lag behind the 75-85% proficiency rates seen in nearby Frisco Independent School District (Isd) and Prosper Independent School District (Isd) schools.

The school’s overall performance has been inconsistent, bouncing from the 29th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 56th in 2024-2025, then settling at a 2-star rating in the 44th percentile for 2025-2026. This volatility extends to student subgroups: English Language Learners saw a strong 75th percentile ranking in 2024-2025, only to drop to the 64th percentile the following year. Most concerning is the persistent struggle to serve students from low socio-economic backgrounds and those in special education, who have ranked in the bottom 25% of the state for three consecutive years. While the school’s advanced math program is a clear strength, the data suggests a need for more stable, long-term strategies that benefit all students, not just a select few.
