Summary

Mattei Middle is a public middle school located in Princeton, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 619 students. It is part of the Princeton Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 421 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Mattei Middle's statewide ranking for the 2024-2025 school year is 1158 out of 2344 Texas middle schools, also with a 3-star rating.

Mattei Middle's test scores are generally lower than the Princeton ISD and Texas state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR/Reading for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades was 46.67%, 54.07%, and 45.95%, respectively, compared to the Princeton ISD scores of 51.53%, 51.28%, and 54.52%, and the Texas state scores of 54.21%, 51.69%, and 56.39%. Additionally, Mattei Middle has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 66.72% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the nearby Clark Middle (67.13%) and Southard Middle schools within the same district.

However, Mattei Middle stands out for its exceptional performance in STAAR EOC/Algebra I, with 96.3% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the Princeton ISD (58.15%) and Texas state (47.01%) averages. This suggests that the school may have strategies in place to support student success in this specific subject area. To further improve, Mattei Middle could focus on enhancing its reading and mathematics proficiency, particularly in the 6th and 8th grades, to better align with the performance of the Princeton ISD and the state of Texas.
