Summary

Texas Middle is a public middle school located in Texarkana, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,361 students. The school is part of the Texarkana Independent School District, which is ranked 661 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Texas Middle has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from 871 out of 2,252 Texas middle schools in 2020-2021 to 1,994 out of 2,344 in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's STAAR test scores are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 32.51% to 34.44% in reading and 16.52% to 30.34% in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 51.69% to 56.39% and 31.12% to 44.81%, respectively. Additionally, Texas Middle has experienced higher dropout rates compared to the state and district averages, with rates ranging from 0.5% to 7.1% in recent years.

When comparing Texas Middle to nearby middle schools, such as New Boston Middle, Redwater J.H., and Pleasant Grove Middle, it becomes evident that Texas Middle is underperforming, with significantly higher test scores, lower dropout rates, and better overall performance at these nearby schools. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Texas Middle, ranging from 74.84% to 76.19% in recent years, may suggest that the school faces challenges in providing adequate resources and support to its students. Addressing these challenges and implementing effective strategies to improve student achievement should be a priority for the Texarkana Independent School District.
