Summary:
In zip code 76249, there is a single middle school, Krum Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 with 569 students as part of the Krum Independent School District (Isd), which is ranked in the 55th percentile of Texas districts.
Krum Middle presents a mixed academic profile. The school excels in Reading, consistently outperforming the state average across all three grade levels. However, it struggles significantly in standard Mathematics, with 7th-grade proficiency dropping to just 7.34% compared to the state's 29.41%. A standout exception is Algebra I, where 84.62% of students were proficient, far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. This suggests a strong advanced math track for select students, while the general math curriculum may need improvement. The school also boasts a 0% dropout rate and a student-teacher ratio of 15.4, with spending per student at $9,337.
Key metrics show the school's overall state ranking is in the 52nd percentile, with 39.72% of students economically disadvantaged. The stark contrast between Reading success and Math struggles, along with year-over-year volatility in math scores (e.g., 7th-grade math dropping from 32.67% to 7.34%), are important factors for parents to consider. The school's strong Algebra I performance, nearly double the district average, highlights a potential strength for advanced learners, while the standard math program appears to be an area of concern.
