Summary

Travis Science Academy is a public middle school in Temple, TX, serving 686 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Temple Independent School District (Isd), where about 75% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced math, with 89% of 8th graders passing the Algebra I End-of-Course exam in 2025-2026—nearly double the district average and far above the state. This strength, however, contrasts sharply with grade-level math struggles: only about 18% of 6th graders and 16% of 7th graders were proficient in math that same year, suggesting the school excels at accelerating a select group of students while the majority lag behind state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Travis Science Academy offers a notably low student-teacher ratio of 13.1:1, which is lower than North Belton Middle (17:1) and Rogers Middle (15.8:1), potentially allowing for more individualized attention. However, it operates in a competitive region where higher-performing schools like Lake Belton Middle (76th percentile) and Academy Middle (68th percentile) consistently outperform it. Reading proficiency is a relative bright spot, averaging around 45% across grades, which is closer to the state average than its math scores. The school also maintains a very low dropout rate (0.2% to 1.1% over five years), showing it effectively keeps students engaged despite academic challenges.

A key area of inconsistency is support for special education students, whose performance swung from the top 11% of the state in 2024-2025 to the bottom 25% in 2025-2026, indicating a lack of systematic support. While the school serves a high-poverty population with average per-student spending ($11,045), its mixed results highlight the difficulty of closing achievement gaps without additional resources. For parents, Travis Science Academy offers a strong advanced math program and small class sizes, but families should weigh these against the school's overall math struggles and the availability of higher-performing options in neighboring districts like Belton Independent School District (Isd).
