Summary

Griffin Middle is a public middle school located in The Colony, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 720 students. It is part of the Lewisville Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 309 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Griffin Middle's academic performance is a mixed bag. While the school excels in Algebra I, with proficiency rates of 95.08% in 2024-2025 compared to the district's 56.67% and the state's 47.01%, its overall STAAR test scores are consistently lower than the Lewisville ISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance is particularly weak in mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 14.48% to 39.67% across different grade levels, compared to the district's 27.38% to 51.93% and the state's 31.12% to 44.81%. Additionally, the school's dropout rates have been higher than the state average in recent years.

Griffin Middle's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. The school ranks particularly low for Asian, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, but its performance for Special Education and Gifted and Talented students is relatively stronger. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 46.01% to 54.72% in recent years, indicates a higher proportion of students from low-income families. While the school's proximity to higher-performing middle schools, such as Killian Middle and Frisco ISD schools, may provide opportunities for collaboration and learning, the school will need to address its equity and academic performance concerns to better serve its diverse student population.
