Summary

Ronald W Reagan Middle in Grand Prairie, TX, is a public school serving 885 students in grades 6-8 within the Grand Prairie Independent School District (Isd), where over half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its exceptional advanced coursework, with 86.61% of students proficient in Algebra I and 98.46% in English I Reading—nearly double the district and state averages. This makes it a regional leader compared to nearby schools like G W Kennemer Middle (65.19% in Algebra I) and Bill Arnold Middle (77.27%). However, the school shows a "tale of two tracks": while its top students thrive, performance in standard grade-level math and reading is often below state averages, such as 23.14% in 6th-grade math versus the state's 38.57%. The school also excels with English Language Learners, ranking in the 80th percentile statewide, but struggles with Special Education students, who rank in the 21st percentile. Despite a recent decline in overall state ranking from the 71st percentile in 2019 to the 47th percentile in 2026, Reagan Middle remains a relative bright spot in a region where many middle schools rank in the bottom 30%, outperforming peers like Harry S Truman Middle (27th percentile) and Andrew Jackson Middle (22nd percentile).

With a low dropout rate of 0.5% and a student-teacher ratio of 15.7, the school uses its resources efficiently, spending $9,400 per student. For parents, this means a school that offers a powerful launchpad for advanced learners but may require extra support for students needing help reaching grade-level benchmarks in core subjects.
