Summary

Tom Bean Middle is a small, rural school in Tom Bean, TX, serving 170 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Tom Bean Independent School District (Isd). This intimate setting offers a standout advantage: a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.8:1, which is much smaller than nearby schools like Trenton Middle (18.2:1) and Clemons Creek Middle (16.7:1), allowing for more personalized attention for your child.

The school shines in specific areas, particularly advanced math and social studies. Its Algebra I program is exceptional, with 100% of students passing the End-of-Course exam in 2022-2023 and 83% in 2023-2024—far exceeding the state average. Additionally, 8th-grade social studies scores have consistently outperformed the state for four years, a feat not matched by most neighboring schools. However, the school faces challenges in grade-level math, with proficiency rates for 6th and 7th graders falling below state averages, and reading scores hovering near the state average. This creates a "tale of two subjects," where the school excels at accelerating top math students but may need more support for students mastering core concepts.

Tom Bean Middle's small size leads to year-to-year performance swings, as the success of a few students can dramatically shift rankings. While it has a 2-star rating (45th percentile) for 2025-2026, it has previously reached a 3-star rating (67th percentile) in 2021-2022. This volatility is more pronounced than in consistently high-performing neighbors like Pritchard J H (83rd percentile) and Whitewright Middle (83rd percentile). The school invests more per student ($12,147) than many peers, focusing resources on small class sizes. For parents seeking a close-knit environment with standout programs in advanced math and social studies, Tom Bean Middle offers unique strengths, though it may not match the overall consistency of larger, higher-ranked districts.
