Summary:
In zip code 79252, located in Quanah, Texas, there is one middle school, Travis Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 with a small enrollment of 95 students as part of the Quanah Independent School District (ISD).
Travis Middle stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced math, with 83.33% of students proficient in Algebra I, far exceeding both the district (35.71%) and state (54.03%) averages. However, this strength contrasts with significant weaknesses in other areas: 8th-grade general math proficiency is only 23.81% (compared to the state's 47.24%), and 8th-grade social studies proficiency is 22.22% (below the state's 31.69%). The school also shows inconsistent grade-level performance, with 7th graders outperforming state averages in reading (58.06% vs. 54.04%) and math (35.48% vs. 29.41%), while 6th and 8th graders lag behind. Despite these mixed results, the school's state ranking has improved from the 30th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 46th percentile in 2025-2026, indicating positive momentum.
Key metrics include a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.4:1, which provides a personalized learning environment, and a spending per student of $13,613. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (78.95% eligible for free or reduced lunch) and maintains a 0.0% dropout rate. While the school's overall state ranking is in the 46th percentile (1,259 out of 2,335 schools), its district ranking is slightly higher at the 52nd percentile (459 out of 951). The standout Algebra I program suggests effective acceleration for top math students, but the school faces challenges in bringing the majority of students up to state averages in core subjects, particularly in 8th-grade math and social studies.
