Summary

Krum Middle in Krum, TX, serves 569 students in grades 6-8 within the Krum Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 55th percentile statewide, and is known for a standout advanced math program that rivals top area schools.

The most striking feature of Krum Middle is its exceptional performance in Algebra I, where students taking the End-of-Course exam achieve proficiency rates above 90%—far exceeding the state average and matching the elite Harpool Middle in Lantana. This suggests a highly effective advanced math track that prepares 8th graders for high school-level coursework with remarkable success. However, this strength creates a "two-speed" math department: while top students thrive, grade-level math scores are a significant weakness, with 7th-grade math proficiency at just 7.34% in 2025-2026, the lowest among nearby schools like Calhoun Middle and Strickland Middle. In contrast, reading proficiency is a consistent bright spot, with all three grade levels meeting or exceeding the state average, outperforming many Denton Independent School District (Isd) peers.

Krum Middle also shows notable efficiency, spending less per student ($9,337) than nearby schools like Sanger Sixth Grade Campus ($13,875) while achieving better overall outcomes. The school has recently improved in serving Special Education students, jumping to the 75th percentile in 2025-2026, a dramatic turnaround from prior years. While it doesn't match the overall performance of top-tier schools like Harpool Middle, Krum Middle offers a strong literacy program and an elite math track for advanced learners, making it a solid choice for families seeking a school that excels in specific areas despite some challenges in general math instruction.
