At the middle school level, Murphy Middle excels in advanced coursework, with an exceptional 98.89% proficiency rate in Algebra I, far exceeding the district average. However, it shows a notable "7th-grade math slump," with only 17.76% proficiency in general math, a sharp drop from other grades. McMillen High School, an alternative school for grades 9-10, defies expectations by outperforming district and state averages in English II Reading while maintaining a very low dropout rate, despite serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Overall, the elementary schools are a major strength of the area, providing a strong academic foundation. The student-teacher ratios are favorable across all schools, ranging from 13.7:1 at Hunt Elementary to 15.7:1 at Murphy Middle.

The key takeaway for parents is that this zip code offers excellent elementary options and a middle school with a world-class advanced math program, though the 7th-grade math curriculum at Murphy Middle may warrant a closer look for families with students entering that grade.
