Summary

New Braunfels Middle is a large public school in New Braunfels, TX, serving 1,301 students in grades 6-8 as part of the New Braunfels Independent School District (Isd), a high-performing district ranked in the top 23% of Texas.

This school presents a fascinating paradox. On one hand, it has an exceptional Algebra I program: 83.76% of 8th graders passed the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, far exceeding the district (60.25%) and state (54.03%) averages, and outperforming nearby schools like Canyon Middle (68.33%) and Briesemeister Middle (80.33%). On the other hand, the school has experienced a significant, multi-year decline in its overall state ranking, dropping from the 83rd percentile in 2016 to the 38th percentile in 2026. This decline is driven by struggles in core subjects: only 25.19% of 6th graders and 14.23% of 7th graders were proficient in Math, well below state averages. This creates a "two-schools" effect where the school excels for a select group of advanced students but struggles to meet the needs of the general population.

This decline is not a district-wide issue. Just 5.8 miles away, Oakrun Middle is ranked in the 80th percentile (4 stars) and outperforms New Braunfels in nearly every subject. The school also shows inconsistent support for key student groups, with performance for English Language Learner students swinging from the 22nd percentile to the 51st and back to the 26th percentile in recent years. A bright spot is the school's consistently low dropout rate (0.8% in 2023-2024, below the district's 1.2%), indicating it successfully keeps students enrolled. The school's future hinges on translating its Algebra I success into broader improvements for all students.
