Summary:
The 14 schools in zip code 76065, serving the Midlothian, TX area, are dominated by the high-performing Midlothian Independent School District (Isd) (85th percentile statewide), with two charter schools from International Leadership Of Texas (Iltexas) (39th percentile) representing a stark contrast in performance.
The standout school overall is Jean Coleman Elementary, a 5-star school in the 92nd percentile with test scores well above district and state averages. Among middle schools, Walnut Grove Middle leads at the 87th percentile, excelling in advanced Algebra I coursework (92.11% proficiency). The two high schools offer different strengths: Midlothian High School shows a strong upward trend in ranking and a 97.0% graduation rate, while Midlothian Heritage High School holds a slightly higher overall state rank (80th percentile) and a lower dropout rate (0.1%). In contrast, Frank Seale Middle is the only Midlothian ISD school with a 2-star rating (47th percentile), though its accelerated Algebra I students achieve a 94.74% proficiency rate, matching top peers. The Iltexas charter schools, Mansfield Heritage Elementary and Mansfield Heritage Middle, are the lowest-performing in the zip code, with test scores often below state averages, particularly in Science (e.g., 12.07% proficiency at the elementary level).
A key finding is the significant socioeconomic diversity within Midlothian ISD, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 10.4% at Larue Miller Elementary (a 5-star school) to 62.01% at J A Vitovsky Elementary (a 3-star school), correlating strongly with academic outcomes. Science scores are a universal weakness across the zip code, with even top elementary schools like Jean Coleman Elementary (48.57% proficiency) only marginally exceeding state averages. Additionally, the Iltexas charter schools have the lowest student-teacher ratios (11.7 and 9.3) yet the lowest test scores, indicating that smaller class sizes alone do not guarantee success.
