Summary

New Diana Middle in Diana, TX, is a small, rural school serving 269 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the high-performing New Diana Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 85th percentile statewide. The school has shown a remarkable turnaround over the past decade, climbing from the bottom third of Texas middle schools to the top 20%, and has earned a solid 4-star rating for six consecutive years. With a low proportion of economically disadvantaged students (35.69% free/reduced lunch) and a perfect zero percent dropout rate over the last five years, it offers a stable and improving environment for families.

One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional performance with Hispanic students, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, a level unmatched by nearby schools like Spring Hill J H or Harleton J H. It also excels in supporting Gifted and Talented students, with a program that jumped to the 91st percentile in 2025-2026. In 6th-grade Reading, 78.13% of students are proficient, nearly 25 percentage points above the state average and the highest rate among comparable area schools. However, 7th-grade math is a persistent challenge, with only 26.67% proficient in 2025-2026, below the state average and a sharp drop from the same cohort's 6th-grade performance. Additionally, 8th-grade Social Studies is a regional weakness, with just 19.51% proficient, though this issue is shared by all nearby schools.

Compared to peers, New Diana Middle offers strong value, achieving high rankings with a modest per-student spending of $10,028, lower than Harleton J H ($12,654) and Union Grove J H ($12,192), which have lower state rankings. It outperforms White Oak Middle in 6th-grade Reading and Math but lags in 8th-grade Science. The school's primary areas for focus are improving 7th-grade math instruction and developing a more effective 8th-grade Social Studies curriculum, the latter being a challenge across the region. Overall, New Diana Middle is a school on a strong upward trajectory, defined by its exceptional success with specific student groups and consistent strength in early middle school reading.
