Summary

Acton Middle in Granbury, TX, serves 938 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Granbury Independent School District (Isd). This school consistently earns a 4-star rating, significantly outperforming its district average and ranking in the 76th percentile or higher for overall performance since the 2021-2022 school year. A standout feature is its exceptional Algebra I program, where 92.68% of students were proficient in the 2023-2024 school year—nearly double the district average and more than double the state average. This makes Acton Middle a top choice for families seeking strong academic preparation, especially in advanced math.

Acton Middle’s performance is particularly impressive when compared to nearby schools. For instance, Granbury Middle, located just 5.78 miles away, ranks in the 26th percentile (1 star), creating a 50-percentile-point gap within the same district. Acton Middle also excels in 8th-grade reading and science, with 77.04% of 8th graders proficient in reading in 2025-2026, far exceeding the district and state averages. However, like many schools in the region, Acton Middle faces a challenge with 8th-grade math proficiency, where only 27.65% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—a common dip seen even at top-performing schools like Aledo Middle (41.57%).

Acton Middle achieves its high performance with efficient spending, at $8,469 per student, which is lower than its district peer Granbury Middle ($9,451) and other nearby schools like Ad Wheat Middle ($11,129). While the school serves its low socio-economic status and at-risk students well, it shows inconsistent performance for some subgroups, such as English Language Learners. Overall, Acton Middle is a cost-effective, high-performing school that offers strong academics, particularly in Algebra I, making it a solid option for families in the Granbury area.
