Summary:
In zip code 78654, there is one middle school, Marble Falls Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 with 852 students in the Marble Falls Independent School District (Isd).
Marble Falls Middle presents a mixed picture. A standout strength is its Algebra I program, where 82.86% of students were proficient in the most recent year, far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. However, this success is contrasted by a critical weakness in 7th-grade math, where only 5.46% of students were proficient—nearly six times worse than the state average. Reading proficiency across all grades is consistently 10 to 14 percentage points below the state average, indicating a systemic challenge. The school's overall state percentile rank has declined over three years, from the 43rd percentile to the 28th percentile.
Despite these challenges, 8th grade is the strongest grade, with the highest proficiency rates in reading (50.53%) and math (41.07%), and it is where the high Algebra I scores are concentrated. The school has a 0% dropout rate and a student-teacher ratio of 13.4. With 65.49% of students economically disadvantaged, the school's spending is $10,254 per student. The high Algebra I scores are a bright spot, but they do not reverse the overall downward trend in performance relative to other Texas schools.
