Summary:
The three middle schools in zip code 76248—Bear Creek Intermediate, Keller Middle, and Indian Springs Middle—are all part of the highly-ranked Keller Independent School District (Isd) and serve grades 5 through 8 in the affluent Keller, Texas area.
Keller Middle stands out as the academic powerhouse, earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 94th percentile statewide. Its 8th graders achieve near-perfect scores on high school credit exams like Algebra I (99.49% proficient) and Biology (100% proficient). Bear Creek Intermediate excels in core subjects for 5th and 6th graders, consistently posting the highest proficiency rates in Reading and Math for those grades. Indian Springs Middle is the only school serving all four middle school grades and offers a balanced, high-ranking performance with the lowest student-teacher ratio (15.2:1) and highest per-student spending ($10,375). All three schools serve a high-income demographic, with free/reduced lunch rates under 12%.
A key finding is the "8th Grade Math Anomaly" at Bear Creek Intermediate, where advanced 6th graders take the 8th-grade STAAR Math exam and achieve near-perfect scores, indicating a strong gifted program. However, a district-wide dip in 7th-grade math proficiency suggests the transition to pre-algebra is a challenge. Science scores, while above state averages, are a relative weakness compared to stellar Reading and Math results. The feeder pattern from Bear Creek Intermediate to Keller Middle creates a seamless pipeline of academic excellence, making this zip code a top choice for families seeking strong middle school education.
