Summary

New Waverly Intermediate is a small, rural school in New Waverly, TX, serving 169 students in grades 4 and 5 within the highly-ranked New Waverly Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its exceptional support for gifted and talented students, consistently earning top ratings in this area, and for its strong science instruction, where 5th graders outperform the state average by a wide margin. However, the school faces a critical challenge in 5th-grade math, where proficiency rates have dropped below the state average, signaling a potential "4th-grade slump" that may require better curriculum alignment with its feeder, New Waverly Elementary. While the school is a consistent performer in a region where nearby schools like Madeley Ranch Elementary and Scott Johnson Elementary have seen dramatic declines, it also shows a growing performance gap between male and female students, with boys now outperforming girls. With per-student spending of $10,935—significantly higher than peers like C C Hardy Elementary—the school has the resources to provide individualized attention, but it must address equity gaps for certain student groups to ensure all children thrive.

Overall, New Waverly Intermediate offers a stable, well-funded education with notable strengths in science and gifted programs, but parents should be aware of the downward trend in 5th-grade math and the school's uneven performance across different student populations. Its consistency in a volatile region is a clear asset, making it a reliable choice for families seeking a solid academic foundation in a small-school setting.
