Summary

Chisholm Trail Middle in Rhome, TX, serves 878 students in grades 6-8 within the Northwest Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top 30% of Texas, though the school itself has seen a significant decline from a top-25% ranking a decade ago to a 2-star rating in recent years.

The most critical issue at Chisholm Trail is a stark divide in math performance. General math proficiency is well below both district and state averages—for example, only 18.96% of 7th graders are proficient, compared to 36.53% district-wide and 29.41% statewide. This is less than half the rate of district peer Cw Worthington Middle (42.98%). However, the school excels with its accelerated students: 90.22% of Algebra I students are proficient, far exceeding the district (58.34%) and state (54.03%) averages. This "two-tiered" math program is a key differentiator. In contrast, reading scores are a relative strength, with 60.19% of 8th graders proficient, outperforming nearby schools like Azle J H South (52.7%) and Santo Forte J H (48.72%). The school also maintains an excellent 0.0% dropout rate.

Chisholm Trail has a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (42.26%) compared to district peers like Leo Adams Middle (24.26%), which helps explain some performance challenges. The school has shown notable improvement for its Special Education students, jumping from the 22nd percentile to the 51st percentile, but struggles with its White and Asian student populations, ranking in the bottom 22nd percentile for both. Despite its decline, Chisholm Trail still outperforms middle schools in neighboring Azle Independent School District (Isd) and Boyd Independent School District (Isd) in core subjects, making it a relatively strong option compared to those districts.
