Summary

Cele Middle in Pflugerville, TX, is a high-performing public school serving 762 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Pflugerville Independent School District (Isd), consistently ranking in the 82nd to 84th percentile statewide and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in Reading and Algebra I, where it dramatically outperforms both district and state averages. For instance, in 2025-2026, 81.56% of 8th graders passed Algebra I, compared to just 46% district-wide and 54% statewide, a rate on par with top nearby schools like Kelly Lane Middle (88%) and far exceeding peers like Pflugerville Middle (80%) and Bohls Middle (73%).

One of the most notable differentiators is the school's socioeconomic profile, with only about 24% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—less than half the rate of nearby district schools like Park Crest Middle (50%) and Pflugerville Middle (66%). This low rate of economic disadvantage correlates strongly with the school's high academic outcomes. Cele Middle also excels in Reading, with proficiency rates of 64% (6th), 79% (7th), and 82% (8th) in 2025-2026, roughly 20-30 percentage points higher than district averages. However, the school shows a consistent challenge in 7th-grade math, where only 21.95% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, below the state average of 29.41%, suggesting a potential curriculum gap at that grade level.

While Cele Middle is a top-tier school, it is slightly outperformed by Kelly Lane Middle, located just 2.23 miles away, which ranks in the 89th percentile and has even lower economic disadvantage (19.3%). Cele Middle also shows a relative weakness in Social Studies, with only 33.2% of 8th graders proficient in 2025-2026, below the district average of 35.18%. Additionally, support for Special Education students appears inconsistent, with a ranking drop from the 71st percentile in 2025-2026 to the 43rd percentile in 2024-2025. Despite these areas for improvement, Cele Middle operates efficiently, spending $8,893 per student—lower than lower-performing district peers like Pflugerville Middle ($10,225) and Park Crest Middle ($10,101)—while achieving top-tier results, a strong indicator of effective leadership and resource allocation.
