Summary

Haggard Middle in Plano, TX, is a solidly performing 4-star school within the highly regarded Plano Independent School District (Isd), serving 707 students in grades 6-8 in a relatively affluent area where about 22% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced mathematics, with a remarkable 95.24% of students proficient in Algebra I—far exceeding the district average of 59.54% and the state average of 54.03%. This strength is matched by consistent outperformance in Reading/Language Arts across all grade levels, where Haggard's 6th graders, for example, achieve 73.26% proficiency compared to the district's 62.66% and state's 53.52%. While nearby schools like Rice Middle (99th percentile) and Robinson Middle (94th percentile) lead the area, Haggard's well-rounded performance places it in a strong second tier, outperforming schools like Bowman Middle and Frankford Middle in key subjects.

However, Haggard faces notable challenges that parents should consider. A consistent "dip" in 7th-grade math proficiency sees scores drop from 60.33% in 6th grade to just 21.88% in 7th grade—below the state average of 29.41%—a pattern common across the district but more pronounced here. Additionally, while the school excels at accelerating top math students into Algebra I, the remaining 8th graders taking standard math score only 57.55% proficient, below the district average of 63.81%. The school also shows significant disparities in serving different student groups, with some subgroups performing in the 94th percentile statewide while others rank much lower, highlighting areas for improvement.

On the positive side, Haggard is exceptionally effective at supporting its Special Education students, who ranked in the 94th percentile statewide in 2025-2026—a remarkable achievement that has improved from the 74th percentile just two years prior. The school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1 and has a consistent track record of academic achievement, earning 4 or 5 stars over the past decade. While not the top school in its vicinity, Haggard offers a reliable, high-quality education with standout programs in advanced math and reading, making it a strong choice for families seeking a stable middle school experience within the Plano ISD.

Open Quote There is a lot of bullying at this school, and I don't think the administration does anything about it. I know several children who see psychiatrists because of the severe bullying at this school. Close Quote
