Summary:
This analysis examines three public middle schools serving grades 6-8 in the 75078 zip code of Prosper, Texas, all part of the highly-rated Prosper Independent School District (Isd).
Lorene Rogers Middle is the top performer, ranking 88th in Texas (96th percentile) and leading in nearly every subject, including an impressive 89.29% proficiency in 8th-grade Reading. Reynolds Middle is a consistent contender with a 5-star rating and strong Reading scores across all grades, though its 8th-grade Math proficiency (26.9%) is a notable weakness. William Rushing Middle shows volatility, dropping from a 5-star to a 4-star rating, but boasts the highest Algebra I proficiency in the zip code at 96.58%. A key finding is the "Algebra I paradox": all three schools have low 8th-grade Math scores (26.9% to 50%) but exceptionally high Algebra I scores (86% to 97%), indicating only top math students are accelerated. Additionally, spending per student does not correlate with performance, as Rogers Middle spends the least ($9,128) but achieves the best results, while Reynolds spends the most ($11,091) but ranks lower.
All schools share a core strength in Reading, consistently scoring 25-30 percentage points above the state average. The most significant district-wide challenge is 8th-grade Math, where none of the schools met the state average of 47.24% proficiency in 2025-2026. Rogers Middle also stands out in Social Studies, with 67.27% proficiency, far exceeding Reynolds (42.97%) and Rushing (38.69%). With zero dropout rates and strong overall performance, these schools offer excellent options, though parents should note the math tracking system and the varying strengths in specific subjects.
