Summary

Elysian Fields Middle in Waskom, TX, serves 186 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the high-performing Elysian Fields Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top 26% of all Texas districts. This school has a strong history of academic excellence, consistently earning top ratings over the past decade, though recent data shows a notable dip in overall performance.

Elysian Fields Middle stands out from nearby schools like Carthage J H, Marshall J H, and Waskom Middle in several key areas. Its greatest strength is reading proficiency, where students in all three grade levels outperform the state average—a sharp contrast to its peers, who mostly fall below. For example, 8th-grade reading proficiency at Elysian Fields (65.52%) is 22 points higher than Marshall JH (43.3%). The school also excels in advanced math acceleration, with 85.71% of students taking Algebra I scoring proficient, far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. Additionally, the school boasts an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 9.7:1, significantly lower than Carthage JH (16.3:1) and Marshall JH (13.1:1), allowing for more individualized attention.

However, the most recent school year (2025-2026) reveals a sharp decline in math scores, with 8th-grade math proficiency dropping from 78% to just 29.55%, well below the state average. This decline has disproportionately impacted special education and African American students, whose performance fell dramatically from the prior year. Despite this, the school has historically been effective for low socio-economic status and at-risk students, and its moderate spending per student ($11,924) yields far better results than Waskom Middle, which spends more ($13,002) but ranks much lower. The school's leadership is urged to investigate the root causes of this recent downturn to restore its trajectory of excellence.
