Summary

Hendrick Middle in Plano, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 528 students in grades 6-8 within the highly-rated Plano Independent School District (Isd), but its recent performance tells a story of significant decline from its former top-tier status.

Once a consistent high-performer ranking in the 84th-88th percentile from 2015 to 2019, Hendrick has dropped sharply to the 43rd percentile in the 2025-2026 school year, earning a 2-star rating. This decline is particularly stark when compared to nearby schools like Rice Middle (2.38 miles away), which has remained in the 99th percentile, and Robinson Middle (3.37 miles away), consistently in the 92nd-94th percentile. Even Schimelpfenig Middle (1.45 miles away) has rebounded to the 89th percentile after a dip. Core academic proficiency is a major concern: only 11.29% of 7th graders were proficient in math in 2025-2026, well below the state average of 29.41%, and reading scores for 6th and 7th graders (46.15% and 44.83%) lag significantly behind district averages (62.66% and 64.5%).

Interestingly, Hendrick shows a "two-tiered" math department: while standard math scores are low, 94.55% of students in Algebra I were proficient, far exceeding district and state averages. The school also has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (45.83%) compared to its highest-performing neighbors, and its ability to serve specific student groups has been volatile. For example, English Language Learner students ranked in the 78th percentile in 2023-2024 but dropped to the 29th percentile in 2025-2026. A bright spot is the Gifted and Talented program, which ranked in the 82nd percentile in 2024-2025. The most direct comparison is Carpenter Middle (1.85 miles away), which has a similar percentage of low-income students (61.47%) and is also struggling, though Hendrick ranks higher (43rd vs. 27th percentile). This suggests Hendrick is underperforming relative to affluent neighbors but may be doing better than schools facing similar challenges within the district.
