Summary

Seymour Middle in Seymour, TX, serves 188 students in grades 5 through 8 within the Seymour Independent School District (Isd), offering a small-town, tight-knit learning environment with a favorable 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio.

This school has historically been a high performer, consistently earning top ratings for years. However, recent data shows a notable dip, with the school dropping to a 3-star rating. The most striking strength is in 8th grade: 82% of 8th graders were proficient in math—nearly double the state average—and 84% were proficient in reading, outpacing the state by 25 percentage points. The school also excels at accelerating students, with 90% of those taking Algebra I passing, compared to just 54% statewide. However, there is a clear challenge in early middle school math: only 38% of 5th graders and 21% of 6th graders met proficiency, both well below state averages. This persistent gap suggests a need for targeted support in the transition to middle school math.

While the school maintains a near-zero dropout rate and spends about $9,500 per student, performance has become volatile for certain groups. For example, support for students from low-income backgrounds dropped dramatically from a top-tier rating to a mid-range one. With no other schools within 20 miles for comparison, Seymour Middle stands alone in the area. The school has the resources and a history of excellence to turn things around, but addressing the math gap in 5th and 6th grades and stabilizing support for all students will be key to returning to its former high standards.
