Summary

Gus Almquist is a 6th-8th grade middle school in Hutto, TX, serving 951 students within the Hutto Independent School District (Isd) and holding a 3-star rating, ranking in the 53rd percentile of Texas middle schools.

The school’s standout strength is its advanced math program: 85% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, far exceeding the district average of 52.76% and the state average of 54.03%. This performance rivals top-tier schools like Ridgeview Middle (93.02%) and Kelly Lane Middle (87.93%) in neighboring districts. Gus Almquist also excels with English Language Learners, ranking in the 70th percentile (4 stars), and consistently outperforms its district peers in core subjects like 6th-grade math (40.5% vs. 34.67% district) and 8th-grade math (42.82% vs. 34.7% district). It is the highest-performing middle school in Hutto ISD, ahead of Farley Middle (45th percentile) and Hutto Middle (39th percentile).

However, the school faces challenges. While it handles the district-wide "7th-grade math slump" better than peers (19.32% proficiency vs. Hutto Middle’s 4.39%), it still struggles in this area. Additionally, its economically disadvantaged students (40% of the student body) rank in the 47th percentile (2 stars), indicating a significant achievement gap. Despite this, Gus Almquist shows positive year-over-year growth in several subjects and serves as a solid academic anchor within its community, though it cannot yet match the overall breadth of achievement in wealthier nearby districts like Round Rock Independent School District (Isd).
