Summary

Santa Rita Middle in Liberty Hill, TX, serves 1,230 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly rated Liberty Hill Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 87th percentile statewide. This school consistently earns a 4-star rating and stands out as the academic leader in its district, outperforming its sister school, Liberty Hill Middle, in nearly every subject—for example, 73.79% of 8th graders were proficient in reading at Santa Rita compared to 62.5% at Liberty Hill.

Santa Rita’s biggest strength is its exceptional advanced math program. An impressive 89.29% of students taking Algebra I were proficient, far exceeding the state average of 54.03% and rivaling top nearby schools like Florence W Stiles Middle (100%). However, the school faces a notable challenge in 7th-grade math, where only 14.91% of students were proficient—well below the state average of 29.41%. This “7th-grade slump” is a persistent issue that warrants attention, especially since 6th-grade math scores are much stronger at 55.09% and 8th-grade math rebounds to 51.26%. The school also excels at supporting English Language Learners, who rank in the 76th percentile statewide, and shows promising progress in closing equity gaps for Special Education and African American students.

Compared to nearby schools, Santa Rita is a strong performer in a region with some of Texas’s best middle schools. While it can’t match the elite 5-star status of Florence W Stiles Middle (99th percentile), it holds its own in key areas like Algebra I and 8th-grade reading. The school’s consistent outperformance of its district and zero dropout rate make it a reliable choice for families, though the 7th-grade math weakness is a key area for parents to investigate further.
