Summary

T E Baxter Elementary in Midlothian, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 594 students in grades PK through 5, and is part of the highly-rated Midlothian Independent School District (Isd).

Baxter is a school of contrasts, with some standout strengths and areas for growth. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency (59%) is significantly higher than 3rd-grade math (46%), a gap not seen at top-performing district peers like Larue Miller Elementary or Jean Coleman Elementary. On the other hand, Baxter’s 5th-grade science scores are exceptional—52% of students were proficient, dramatically higher than the district average (38%) and the state average (30%). This is the highest science proficiency rate among all district elementary schools with available data, outperforming schools like Longbranch Elementary (23%) and Mt Peak Elementary (33%).

Baxter also serves as a "bridge" school in the district, with 31% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—a middle ground between more affluent schools like Larue Miller (10%) and higher-poverty schools like J A Vitovsky Elementary (62%). The school has seen a recent decline in its overall rating, dropping from a 4-star to a 3-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, while other district schools improved. However, Baxter shows notable success with specific student groups, including English Language Learners, who rank in the 84th percentile statewide. This makes Baxter a unique option for families seeking a school with strong science instruction and a track record of supporting diverse learners, even as it works to strengthen early math foundations.
