Summary

William Rushing Middle in Prosper, TX, is a large, high-performing school serving 1,691 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Prosper Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top 5% of Texas districts. The school has a perfect 0% dropout rate and consistently earns top ratings, but its performance reveals a mix of standout strengths and areas needing attention.

One of the school's biggest highlights is its Algebra I acceleration program: an impressive 96.58% of students scored proficient or above on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, far exceeding district and state averages. However, this success contrasts with grade-level math scores, where 8th-grade proficiency (44.94%) is the lowest among Prosper ISD peers like Lorene Rogers Middle (50%) and Bill Hays Middle (54.72%). Reading scores are solid but not leading, with 8th-grade reading at 73.37%—well above the state average but trailing behind Lorene Rogers (89.29%) and Bill Hays (86.05%). Social studies is a consistent weak point, with only 38.69% of 8th graders proficient, the lowest in the district. The school also has the highest student-teacher ratio among its Prosper ISD peers (16.7:1), which may contribute to these relative gaps.

A critical concern is the school's declining effectiveness with economically disadvantaged students, dropping from the 81st percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 31st percentile in 2025-2026. This contrasts with strong support for English Language Learners (88th percentile) and Gifted & Talented students (85th percentile). Nearby Wilkinson Middle in Frisco ISD, just 1.26 miles away, consistently outperforms Rushing in overall state ranking and most subjects, offering a clear benchmark for improvement. While Rushing excels in advanced math and serves many students well, families should consider these nuances, especially in grade-level math, reading, and social studies.
