Summary

Itasca Middle is a small, rural school in Itasca, TX, serving 151 students in grades 6-8 within the Itasca Independent School District (Isd), where about two-thirds of students are economically disadvantaged.

Academically, Itasca Middle faces significant challenges, ranking in the 7th percentile statewide with a 0-star rating, a steep decline from its peak in the 2015-2016 school year. Proficiency rates are well below state averages across all core subjects—for example, only 20.4% of 8th graders are proficient in reading (38 points below the state average) and just 21.1% in math. This underperformance is widespread, affecting all student subgroups, though the school shows a notable strength in serving Special Education students, who ranked in the 56th percentile in 2025-2026. In contrast, nearby Grandview J H (just 7 miles away) ranks in the 60th percentile, with students 2-3 times more likely to be proficient in core subjects, highlighting the unique struggles at Itasca Middle.

Despite these challenges, the school has some bright spots. It boasts a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.4:1—the smallest among nearby schools like Alvarado J H (16.2:1) and Rio Vista Middle (13.9:1)—and spends $11,258 per student, higher than some peers. Additionally, 75% of students taking Algebra I End-of-Course exams were proficient, far exceeding the state average of 54%, suggesting effective acceleration for a select group of math students. However, this "Algebra I anomaly" contrasts sharply with the low general math scores, indicating that while the school excels with a small cohort, the majority of students need more support to improve overall outcomes.
