Summary

W A Todd Middle in Donna, TX, is a public school serving 670 students in grades 6-8 within the Donna Independent School District (Isd), where over 91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has shown a remarkable upward trajectory from a low point in 2020-2021, now ranking in the 46th percentile statewide with a 2-star rating, demonstrating sustained improvement.

The most standout feature of W A Todd Middle is its exceptional performance in advanced mathematics, specifically Algebra I. The school consistently achieves near-perfect or perfect proficiency rates on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, far exceeding both district and state averages—for example, 85% proficiency in 2025-2026 compared to the district's 41% and state's 54%. This indicates a highly effective program for accelerating top math students. Additionally, the school has shown outstanding support for Special Education students, ranking in the top 10% of the state in recent years, and performs strongly with English Language Learners, consistently outperforming state averages for this subgroup. Interestingly, while W A Todd trails its district rival A P Solis Middle in overall rank, its advanced math program is on par with the district's best, and it achieves comparable results to several Weslaco Independent School District (Isd) schools like Mary Hoge Middle (30th percentile) and Armando Cuellar Middle (42nd percentile), despite serving a population with greater economic challenges.

However, there are areas for improvement. While Algebra I scores are stellar, general grade-level math proficiency lags behind state averages, with only 26% of 6th graders and 37% of 7th graders proficient in 2025-2026. A consistent weakness is 8th-grade Social Studies, where proficiency rates (25-31%) fall below both district and state averages. On a positive note, the school achieves remarkable success with Migrant Students, ranking in the 90th percentile in recent years, pointing to targeted support for this vulnerable population. Overall, W A Todd Middle offers strong advanced academics and specialized support, making it a solid choice for families seeking a school that excels in accelerating high-achieving students and supporting diverse learners.
