Summary:
The five public schools in zip code 76643 (Hewitt, TX) are all part of the highly-rated Midway Independent School District (Isd), serving students from Pre-K through 8th grade with four elementary schools and one middle school, totaling 3,349 students.
The standout performer in this area is Spring Valley Elementary, which has consistently earned a 5-star rating and ranks in the 95th percentile. It significantly outperforms district and state averages, particularly in 5th Grade Reading (81.71% proficient) and Math (75.61% proficient). A close competitor is Park Hill Elementary, a rising star that jumped from the 81st to the 90th percentile and now also holds a 5-star rating, excelling in 4th Grade Reading (82.18% proficient). In contrast, Castleman Creek Elementary has seen a declining trend, dropping to a 3-star rating with only 39.76% of 3rd graders proficient in Math. Hewitt Elementary also struggles, ranking lower than its peers. At the middle school level, Midway Middle presents a fascinating "barbell" effect: it achieves an exceptional 95.33% proficiency in Algebra I (nearly double the state average), yet only 33.08% of 8th graders are proficient in standard 8th Grade Math, which is below the state average.
A key takeaway is that while the district provides a strong foundation, there is a clear performance gap tied to economic demographics. The two lowest-performing schools, Hewitt Elementary (59.69% free/reduced lunch) and Castleman Creek Elementary (56.49%), also have the highest economic need, while the top performers, Park Hill (39.12%) and Spring Valley (42.02%), have the lowest. Additionally, Science is a universal weakness across all elementary schools, with even the best score (Spring Valley at 58.54%) only slightly above the district average, highlighting an area for district-wide improvement.
