Summary

Mineola Middle serves 388 students in grades 6-8 within the Mineola Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top 30% of Texas, and is located in a community where about half of the students (51.55%) are economically disadvantaged.

Mineola Middle has a standout strength: its advanced math program. In the most recent school year, an impressive 95.45% of its students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, dramatically outperforming the state average (54.03%) and nearby schools like Van J H (86.84%) and Grand Saline Middle (85.71%). In fact, the school achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate on this exam in the two prior years. The school also excels in reading, with 8th-grade reading proficiency (68.57%) outpacing the state (58.69%), and it has maintained a perfect 0.0% dropout rate for at least five years. Furthermore, the school is particularly effective at supporting students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 71st percentile for this group—a strong indicator of closing opportunity gaps.

However, the school faces a clear challenge in standard grade-level math. While its advanced students thrive, 6th-grade math proficiency (29.55%) lags behind the state average (38.57%). This creates a "tale of two subjects" where reading is strong but on-grade-level math is a weakness. The school's overall state ranking has also declined from a peak in the 89th percentile to the 64th percentile in recent years. For context, nearby Lindale J H (a top-performing 5-star school) outperforms Mineola in nearly every subject, though Mineola’s Algebra I scores remain competitive. With a low student-to-teacher ratio of 13.3:1 and higher per-student spending ($12,320) than many peers, the school has resources to build on its advanced math success and strengthen its core math curriculum for all students.
