Summary

Lady Bird Johnson Middle in Irving, TX, serves 813 students in grades 6-8 within the Irving Independent School District (Isd), and is a mid-sized school in a predominantly low-income community where 86.59% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school presents a unique "two schools in one" dynamic. On standard grade-level tests, performance is significantly below district and state averages—for example, only 3.87% of 7th graders are proficient in math. However, students in advanced courses taking high school-level End-of-Course (EOC) exams achieve exceptional results, with 95.6% proficient in Algebra I and 100% in Biology. This stark contrast suggests a highly effective advanced academics program that doesn't translate to success for the general student body. The school also maintains a very low dropout rate of 0.2%, indicating it keeps students engaged despite academic struggles. A notable bright spot is the school's ability to serve its Asian student population, who ranked in the 71st percentile statewide in 2024-2025.

Compared to nearby schools, Lady Bird Johnson's overall state ranking has declined sharply to the 15th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 1-star rating. This is particularly striking when compared to Lorenzo De Zavala Middle, just 2.59 miles away, which serves a similar high-poverty population but has improved to the 54th percentile. A persistent crisis point is 7th-grade mathematics, where proficiency rates have been abysmally low for three consecutive years (3.87% in 2025-2026). While the school excels with its advanced track, the overall decline and the nearby success of De Zavala suggest that Lady Bird Johnson could benefit from adopting new strategies to improve outcomes for all students.

Inconsistent enforcement of school rules. Very ineffective administration that does not support its teachers in ensuring a safe and effective learning environment for all students to learn. Close Quote
