Summary

Audie Murphy Middle in Alamo, TX, serves 790 students in grades 6-8 within the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District (Isd), and has shown a remarkable turnaround from a low-performing school to a top-tier campus in the area.

This school stands out for its exceptional Algebra I program, with 100% of students proficient on the End-of-Course exam for the 2024-2025 school year—a consistent achievement over the last four years that dramatically outperforms the district average of 64.45% and the state average of 47.01%. Audie Murphy also excels at supporting students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 80th percentile statewide for this group, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Austin Middle and Lyndon B Johnson Middle. Additionally, the school has maintained a perfect 0% dropout rate for five consecutive years and shows strong performance for English Language Learners, ranking in the 72nd-75th percentile over the last three years.

While Audie Murphy has many strengths, there are areas for improvement. A district-wide challenge is the "7th-grade math slump," with proficiency at only 11.9% at this school, though students recover significantly by 8th grade (58.11% proficient). Social Studies scores are also a concern, with only 30.4% of 8th graders proficient, below the state average. The school's performance for Special Education and Gifted students is more mixed, suggesting room for growth in targeted support. Overall, Audie Murphy's upward trajectory and focus on overcoming socioeconomic barriers make it a standout choice in the region, especially when compared to schools in the neighboring Donna Independent School District (Isd), which often lag behind in reading and math.
