Summary

General Tommy Franks Elementary is a mid-sized school in the Midland Independent School District (Isd), serving about 950 students from Pre-K through 6th grade, and it has earned a reputation as a reliable, middle-of-the-pack performer with a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of specific student groups. It ranks in the 78th percentile for African American students and the 84th percentile for English Language Learners, both earning 4-star ratings—a stark contrast to its overall performance. However, parents should note a "Jekyll and Hyde" pattern in math: 4th graders consistently outperform district averages (57.29% vs. 48.97% in 2025-2026), but by 6th grade, scores often dip below the district average. Science is a clear weakness, with only 16.67% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, well below the district and state averages. Compared to nearby schools like Pease Communications/Technology Academy or Sam Houston Collegiate Preparatory Elementary, which achieve similar overall rankings but with different spending levels, General Tommy Franks delivers solid results with a more efficient budget ($8,797 per student vs. $16,056 at Sam Houston).

A growing concern is the student-teacher ratio, which has jumped from 19.5:1 in 2022-2023 to 26:1 in 2024-2025—the highest among nearby schools like Fannin Elementary (16.8:1) or the top-ranked Carver Center (17.1:1). While the school has maintained its performance so far, this trend could strain resources and individualized attention. Overall, General Tommy Franks offers a stable, middle-ground option in Midland, with notable strengths in supporting diverse learners but clear areas for improvement in upper-grade math and science.
