Summary:
In zip code 75063, there is one middle school, Bush Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in Irving, Texas, as part of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (ISD).
Bush Middle has a total enrollment of 675 students and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.4:1, which suggests smaller class sizes. The school shows a remarkable strength in advanced mathematics, with 95.95% of students proficient in Algebra I during the 2024-2025 school year—more than double the district and state averages. However, this contrasts sharply with performance in standard math courses, where only 13.22% of 7th graders were proficient in 2025-2026. Overall, the school generally underperforms compared to state averages in core subjects like reading (44.1% proficient vs. 55.4% statewide) and mathematics (29.4% proficient vs. 38.4% statewide). A bright spot is 8th-grade social studies, where the school's 30.3% proficiency rate in 2024-2025 exceeded the state average of 29.64%.
The school's state ranking has declined slightly over the past three years, from the 43rd percentile to the 34th percentile, indicating it is not improving at the same rate as other Texas schools. Despite spending $10,389 per student and having a low dropout rate of 1.5%, the majority of STAAR scores in core subjects fall below district and state averages. This suggests that while resources are available, instructional strategies may need adjustment to improve general academic outcomes for the 59.41% of students who are economically disadvantaged.
