Summary:
Zip code 76633 is home to a single middle school, China Spring Middle, which serves grades 7 and 8 with 483 students as part of the China Spring Independent School District (Isd) in a suburban area near Waco, Texas.
China Spring Middle is a consistently high-performing school, earning a 4-star rating for three consecutive years and ranking in the 75th percentile among Texas middle schools. Its standout strength is advanced math: 65.63% of 8th graders taking Algebra I scored proficient, well above the state average of 54.03%. The school also excels in 8th-grade mathematics overall, with 65.66% proficient versus the state's 47.24%. However, there are notable areas of concern. The most dramatic is a "7th-grade math slump"—only 25% of 7th graders were proficient in math, a 40.66 percentage point drop compared to 8th-grade math performance. Additionally, 8th-grade reading proficiency fell from 75.59% to 64.26% year-over-year, and 8th-grade social studies has underperformed the state average for two consecutive years (24.26% vs. 31.69% in the most recent data).
With a student-teacher ratio of 16.1 and per-student spending of $9,477, the school operates efficiently. About 34.16% of students are economically disadvantaged, and the dropout rate is 0.0%. While the school shows strong overall results and effective acceleration in advanced coursework, parents should note the significant gap in 7th-grade math and the persistent weakness in social studies as areas that may require attention or support from the school's administration.
