Summary

John M Tidwell Middle in Roanoke, TX, is a large 6-8 grade middle school within the Northwest Independent School District (Isd), serving 1,062 students with a strong and stable track record of academic excellence.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced mathematics, with nearly 98% of students proficient in Algebra I—a remarkable 39 percentage points above the district average. While Medlin Middle in the same district has higher overall test scores, Tidwell achieves balanced, high-level proficiency across all core subjects, including Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies. It also significantly outperforms other district peers like Cw Worthington Middle and Gene Pike Middle. A key strength is its outstanding support for specific student groups, ranking in the 94th percentile for Hispanic students and the 93rd percentile for English Language Learners—a level of equity that sets it apart from many nearby schools.

The school’s consistent upward trajectory over the past decade, combined with its strategic focus on accelerating students into high school-level math, makes it a compelling choice for families.

Overall, Tidwell offers a well-rounded, high-quality education with a proven ability to challenge high-achieving students and support diverse learners effectively.
