Summary:
In zip code 77514, there is one middle school, Anahuac Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in the Anahuac Independent School District (Isd) with 336 students.
Anahuac Middle presents a mixed picture for parents. On one hand, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1 and spends $11,485 per student, which are positive resource indicators. It also boasts a 0% dropout rate and a standout advanced math program: in the 2024-2025 school year, 81.48% of students taking Algebra I were proficient, nearly double the state average. However, the school's overall academic performance in core subjects is a significant concern. In the 2025-2026 school year, only 37.2% of students were proficient in reading (compared to 55.4% statewide), and just 22.5% were proficient in math (compared to 38.4% statewide). This creates a stark "two-tier" system where a small group excels in advanced coursework while the majority of students in standard classes struggle, particularly in 7th-grade math where only 5.62% were proficient.
The most alarming trend is the school's rapid decline in state ranking, dropping from the 35th percentile (2 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 17th percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026. This three-year downward slide is reflected in falling test scores across multiple grades and subjects. Since Anahuac Middle is the only middle school in its district, its scores are essentially the district's scores, except in Algebra I where the school outperforms the district average. Despite adequate funding and small class sizes, the school's consistently below-average results in reading, math, and social studies suggest the need for targeted instructional improvements and intervention strategies for struggling students.
