Summary:
Zip code 76034 in Colleyville, Texas, is home to two exceptional middle schools—Heritage Middle and Colleyville Middle—both serving grades 6-8 as part of the highly-rated Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District (ISD), which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 87th percentile statewide.
Both schools are top performers, ranking in the 93rd percentile among Texas middle schools, but they shine in different areas. Colleyville Middle (610 students) excels in reading across all grade levels and boasts a perfect 0.0% dropout rate, with a very low free/reduced lunch rate of 7.54%. Heritage Middle (724 students) is a powerhouse for advanced academics, achieving 100% proficiency on Algebra I and Biology End-of-Course exams, and it has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1. Heritage also outperforms Colleyville in 8th-grade Social Studies (69.31% vs. 56.58%). Despite having a free/reduced lunch rate over three times higher (24.86%), Heritage matches Colleyville’s overall state ranking, demonstrating strong performance across a more diverse student body.
A key shared challenge is a dramatic drop in math proficiency between 6th and 7th grade—Heritage falls from 58.77% to 30.19%, and Colleyville from 61.27% to 23.4%—suggesting a district-wide curriculum issue. Both schools are on an upward trajectory, rebounding to 5-star ratings in the latest projections. For families, Heritage Middle offers a rigorous academic track with advanced coursework, while Colleyville Middle provides consistent reading excellence and a very affluent, low-dropout environment. Both are excellent choices within a top-tier district.
