Summary

Stamford Middle is a small, rural school in the Stamford Independent School District (Isd) serving 118 students in grades 6-8, with a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 12.3:1 and over half of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Stamford Middle’s standout strength is its exceptional 8th-grade mathematics program, where 74% of students were proficient in the most recent testing year—a remarkable 27-point advantage over the state average. This performance far outpaces nearby Haskell J H (64% proficient) and Anson Middle (28% proficient). The school also excels in 8th-grade science and social studies, suggesting strong preparation for high school. Additionally, Stamford Middle earned a prestigious 5-star rating for serving its English Language Learner students, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide—a unique achievement not seen in nearby schools.

However, the school shows significant volatility in 7th-grade performance, with math proficiency dropping from 76% to just 27% over two years—a pattern not observed at more consistent Haskell J H. The most recent school year (2025-2026) saw a school-wide decline, dropping Stamford Middle’s overall state rank from the 72nd to the 57th percentile. While the school has maintained a solid 3-star rating for four years, this dip may reflect challenges with a specific cohort or instructional changes. The school also has a minor concern with a small but noticeable dropout rate (around 1%) in some years. For parents, Stamford Middle offers exceptional 8th-grade academics and targeted support for English learners, but families should ask about the school’s plans to build more consistent performance across all grade levels.
