In zip code 75703 (Tyler, TX), there are two public middle schools—Three Lakes Middle and Hubbard Middle—serving grades 6 through 8 within the Tyler Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 51st percentile statewide.
Three Lakes Middle stands out as the top performer in the area, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 75th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, compared to Hubbard Middle’s 3-star rating and 69th percentile. Despite nearly identical student-teacher ratios (around 16.4:1) and similar free/reduced lunch rates (58.54% vs. 57.31%), Three Lakes consistently achieves higher academic outcomes, including stronger average Reading proficiency (61.16% vs. 60.79%) and Math proficiency (44.07% vs. 39.56%). Both schools are exceptional in Algebra I, with Three Lakes posting a remarkable 97.98% proficiency rate and Hubbard at 95.65%, far exceeding the district (60.44%) and state (54.03%) averages. However, both schools share a notable weakness in 8th-grade Math, scoring well below the state average of 47.24% (Three Lakes at 33.78%, Hubbard at 37.88%).
Both schools boast very low dropout rates (0.3% and 0.2%), less than half the district average of 0.5%, indicating strong student retention. Reading is a clear strength across the board, with both schools outperforming the state average of 55.42%. The stark contrast in Algebra I performance suggests both schools successfully accelerate a select group of high-achieving 8th graders into advanced math, while the majority of 8th graders in standard math struggle. For parents, Three Lakes Middle offers the strongest overall academic profile, but both schools provide solid foundations with low dropout rates and strong reading programs.
