Ingram Middle

Ingram Middle in Ingram, TX, serves 270 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly rated Ingram Independent School District (Isd), which has earned a 4-star rating and ranks in the 84th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional advanced math program, with 8th-grade Algebra I proficiency rates consistently above 90% over the last four years—far exceeding the state average of around 50%. This is a major strength compared to nearby schools like Peterson Middle (77-89% proficiency) and Harper Middle. Ingram also excels at supporting all students, including those from low-income backgrounds (ranking in the 79th to 87th percentile) and special education students (recently jumping to the 84th percentile). The school has shown a strong upward trend over the past decade, climbing from the 47th percentile in 2018 to a stable 70th percentile range for the last six years. However, there is a notable weakness in 7th-grade math, with only 7.5% of students proficient compared to the state average of 29.41%—a challenge that also appears at Harper Middle, suggesting a regional issue.

Compared to other area schools, Ingram outperforms the much larger Peterson Middle in nearly every grade-level math and reading category, despite having fewer resources. It also far surpasses Center Point Middle, which struggles in most subjects. Ingram achieves these results with efficient spending of $9,586 per student, lower than both Harper Middle ($10,556) and Center Point Middle ($11,328). This combination of strong advanced math, equitable support for diverse learners, and consistent improvement makes Ingram a standout choice for families in the region.
