Summary

Andrew Jackson Middle in Grand Prairie, TX, serves 787 students in grades 6-8 within the Grand Prairie Independent School District (Isd), where over 81% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school presents a fascinating mix of challenges and standout successes, making it a school of stark contrasts. While its overall state ranking has declined to the 22nd percentile, it has developed two powerful engines of success: an exceptional advanced academics program and a recently implemented, highly effective support system for English Language Learners (ELL).

The most striking differentiator is the school's performance in advanced coursework. In Algebra I, 86.11% of students are proficient, far exceeding the district average of 47.42% and the state average of 54.03%. Even more impressive, 100% of students taking English I Reading are proficient, compared to just 45.65% district-wide and 55.43% statewide. This suggests a highly effective program for identifying and preparing top students for high school credit. Additionally, the school has achieved a remarkable turnaround for its ELL population, jumping from the 30th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 87th percentile in 2025-2026—a leap that is not mirrored in nearby schools like Ronald W Reagan Middle or Iltexas Grand Prairie Middle. The school also maintains a low dropout rate of 0.4%, significantly better than the district average of 1.7%.

However, these bright spots exist alongside significant struggles in grade-level core subjects. For example, 7th-grade Math proficiency was just 7.24% in 2025-2026, creating a wide achievement gap within the school itself. Compared to nearby schools, Andrew Jackson's overall performance is lower than Ronald W Reagan Middle (a 3-star school) and Iltexas Grand Prairie Middle (a 3-star school), but it significantly outperforms Bill Arnold Middle (a 0-star school) in almost every metric. The key challenge for Andrew Jackson is to translate the strategies that make its advanced and ELL programs so successful to the broader student body, particularly in grade-level mathematics and reading.
