Summary

Memorial Middle in Edinburg, TX, serves 1,045 students in grades 6-8 within the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District, and over 90% of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This school is on a strong upward trajectory, climbing from the 22nd percentile statewide in 2020-2021 to the 53rd percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating. Its most impressive strength is preparing students for advanced high school coursework: nearly 98% of students taking Algebra I and 100% taking English I passed their end-of-course exams, far exceeding district and state averages. The school also excels at supporting its migrant student population, earning a 4-star rating in 2025-2026, and consistently performs well with low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the 68th percentile.

However, there are clear areas for growth. Reading proficiency declines as students move through the grades, with 56% of 6th graders proficient, dropping to 43% by 8th grade—the opposite of the state trend. Math also shows a "dip" in 6th and 7th grades, where only 35% and 20% of students are proficient, respectively, though this reverses dramatically in 8th grade, where 63% are proficient, outpacing the state average. Compared to nearby schools, Memorial is a solid mid-tier performer within its district, outperforming Betty Harwell Middle (47th percentile) but behind South Middle (73rd percentile), which has a significantly lower poverty rate. In neighboring McAllen Independent School District (Isd), schools like Morris Middle (90th percentile) and Michael E Fossum Middle (86th percentile) have much lower poverty rates and higher overall scores, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic factors on performance.

Despite these challenges, Memorial maintains an exceptionally low dropout rate of 0.3%, well below the district average of 1.4%, showing a strong commitment to keeping students engaged. The school's consistent improvement over the last five years across nearly all student subgroups—including Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students—suggests that systemic changes are working. For parents, Memorial Middle offers a school that is effectively accelerating students into advanced coursework and supporting its most vulnerable populations, while working to address gaps in reading and early middle school math. It is a school on the rise, making the most of its resources to serve its community.
