Summary

Mt Vernon Middle in Mount Vernon, TX, serves 456 students in grades 5 through 8 and is part of the highly-rated Mount Vernon Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top 30% of Texas districts. The school has shown a strong upward trend, recently earning a 4-star rating (79th percentile) after a period of stability, and stands out for its exceptional advanced math program and consistent support for all students.

A major highlight is the school's Algebra I program, where students have achieved an average proficiency rate of about 88% over the past four years—far exceeding the state average. This success is part of a broader strength in advanced learning, with the Gifted and Talented program ranking in the 87th percentile. However, the school is working to extend this success to all math students, as standard 8th-grade math proficiency has been lower. In reading, Mt Vernon Middle consistently outperforms the state across all grade levels, while 8th-grade social studies remains an area for growth. The school also excels in supporting low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the 79th percentile, and has seen a remarkable 37-percentile-point improvement for Hispanic students over three years.

Compared to nearby schools, Mt Vernon Middle offers a balanced student-to-teacher ratio of 14:1, which is more favorable than larger schools like P E Wallace Middle (12.4:1) but less so than smaller rural schools like Rivercrest J H (9.4:1). It significantly outperforms schools in the nearby Mount Pleasant Independent School District (Isd), such as Mount Pleasant J H, in nearly every subject. Additionally, the school has maintained a 0.0% dropout rate for four of the last five years, a perfect record not shared by all peers, such as Winnsboro J H (0.4% in 2023-2024).
