Summary

Stanton Middle in Stanton, TX, serves 251 students in grades 6-8 within the Stanton Independent School District (Isd), a small-town school that has shown a remarkable turnaround from a 1-star rating to a consistent 3-star rating over the past decade.

This school stands out for its exceptional math performance, particularly in advanced coursework. An impressive 100% of Stanton Middle's 8th graders taking Algebra I have achieved proficiency for three consecutive years, far exceeding the state average of 54%. Overall, 62.67% of 8th graders are proficient in math, a 15-point advantage over the state average. This success is supported by a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.5:1, which is nearly half that of nearby schools like San Jacinto J H (15.6:1) and James R Brooks Middle (16.7:1), suggesting more personalized attention for students. The school also excels in serving male and Hispanic students, ranking in the 71st and 70th percentiles statewide for these groups, respectively.

However, the school's strengths are not uniform across all subjects. While math is a standout, science and social studies proficiency rates lag behind state averages—only 32.47% of 8th graders were proficient in science and 20.78% in social studies in 2024-2025. Additionally, performance for low-income and at-risk students has been inconsistent from year to year. Compared to its closest neighbor, James R Brooks Middle, Stanton Middle outperforms in math across all grades despite having a higher percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch (49% vs. 33%). This small school has engineered a strong upward trajectory, climbing from the 25th percentile to the 64th percentile in state rankings, making it a compelling option for families prioritizing math achievement and a supportive learning environment.
