Summary:
In zip code 75173, there is one middle school, Leland E Edge Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in Nevada, Texas, as part of the Community Independent School District (Isd).
Leland E Edge Middle has a total enrollment of 662 students and a student-teacher ratio of 21:1. The school has a 2-star rating and has consistently ranked in the 35th to 38th percentile statewide over the last three years, indicating a stable but below-average overall standing. Over half of the student body (54.83%) qualifies for free or reduced lunch. The school's dropout rate is exceptionally low at 0.3%, which is less than half the district's rate of 0.7%, showing strong student retention.
The most notable finding is the school's exceptional performance in Algebra I (End of Course), where 81.36% of 8th graders scored proficient in the 2025-2026 school year. This is dramatically higher than the district average of 45.91% and the state average of 54.03%. However, this success contrasts with consistent underperformance in standard grade-level subjects. For example, only 20.96% of 7th graders are proficient in math, compared to the state average of 29.41%, and reading proficiency across all grades lags behind state averages. This suggests the school has a highly effective advanced math program for a select group of students, while the general student population faces challenges in core subjects. The school's per-student spending is $9,199, providing a baseline for understanding resource allocation relative to these mixed academic outcomes.
