Summary:
In zip code 76082 (Springtown, TX), there are two middle schools serving grades 5 through 8 within the Springtown Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 56th percentile statewide, where both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Springtown Middle (grades 7-8) stands out for its exceptional Algebra I program, with 88% of 8th graders proficient in 2025-2026—far exceeding the state average of 54%—yet this masks broader struggles, as its standard math proficiency (29.5%) and social studies scores (21.2%) lag behind state averages. In contrast, Springtown Intermediate (grades 5-6) shows more balanced but still below-average performance, with reading proficiency around 46.5% and math at 33.8%, both below the state's 56% and 38% averages respectively. The middle school's overall state ranking has declined over three years to the 36th percentile, while the intermediate school lacks a comparable ranking, suggesting the transition to 7th grade presents a "dip" in math achievement.
Key metrics reveal both schools have similar per-student spending (around $10,300) and student-teacher ratios (14.5:1 at Intermediate, 12.8:1 at Middle), yet outcomes diverge sharply by subject. The middle school's dropout rate is 1.3%, and its science proficiency (40%) and social studies (21.2%) are notably weak, while the intermediate school's free/reduced lunch rate is higher at 52%. For parents, the takeaway is that Springtown Middle excels at accelerating top math students but needs improvement in core subjects, while Springtown Intermediate provides a more consistent, though still below-average, foundation for younger students.
