Summary

Dorie Miller Intermediate in Ennis, TX, serves 4th and 5th graders in the Ennis Independent School District (Isd), with a student body where a significant majority come from low socio-economic backgrounds. The school has historically been a solid performer, but recent data shows a notable decline to a 2-star rating, dropping to the 44th percentile statewide. This dip is a key concern, especially as the school's performance for White students collapsed to the 10th percentile in 2025-2026, which appears to be a primary driver of the overall ranking decline.

One of the most striking differentiators is Dorie Miller's consistent and significant outperformance of its sister school, Jack Lummus Intermediate, in Mathematics. For example, in 2025-2026, 4th graders scored 65.57% proficient in math compared to Jack Lummus's 43.82%—a 22-point gap. This multi-year trend suggests a fundamentally different approach to math instruction or curriculum at Dorie Miller. Additionally, the school has a remarkable track record of serving its Special Education students, ranking in the 92nd percentile statewide in 2023-2024. However, there is a clear performance gap between grade levels: 4th graders excel in math, scoring well above the state average, while 5th graders struggle, particularly in science, where only 18.87% were proficient in 2024-2025.

When compared to nearby high-performing schools like Palmer Elementary (4-star school), the differences are stark. Palmer's students score significantly higher in both reading and math, and Palmer has a lower rate of economically disadvantaged students. Interestingly, Dorie Miller spends $8,896 per student, while other elementary schools in its own district, such as Travis Elementary, spend over $11,000 per student. This resource gap could be a contributing factor to the recent performance decline. Another red flag is the poor performance of students taking the STAAR Spanish test, with only 16.67% proficient in math, indicating that English Language Learner students may need more support.
