Summary

Hawley Middle in Hawley, TX, is a small, rural school serving 193 students in grades 6-8 within the Hawley Independent School District (Isd), and it has recently shown a promising upward trend after several years of lower ratings.

One of the school's biggest strengths is its exceptionally small class sizes. With a student-to-teacher ratio of just 8.8:1, it offers far more individualized attention than nearby schools like Wylie East J H (13.2:1) or Wylie West J H (16.9:1). This intimate environment is a major advantage for families seeking a close-knit learning community. Academically, the school has made a notable "bounce back," climbing from a 2-star rating to a 3-star rating in the last two years. It also boasts a perfect 0% dropout rate and has shown it can effectively support students from low socio-economic backgrounds, with strong performance in that subgroup in recent years.

However, the school's academic performance is a mixed bag. While students taking advanced Algebra I courses perform exceptionally well—matching the high standards of the top-performing Wylie schools—results in standard grade-level math are inconsistent. For example, 7th-grade math proficiency (37.5%) is well above the state average, but 6th-grade math proficiency (21.1%) is significantly below it. This suggests that the school's success can vary greatly depending on the grade and subject. Additionally, the school is still working to consistently challenge its highest-achieving students, as performance for its Gifted & Talented group has been a noted area for growth. Overall, Hawley Middle offers a small, supportive environment with a recent record of improvement, but families should be aware of the uneven academic results across different grades and student groups.
