Summary:
In zip code 79714, there is one middle school, Andrews Middle, serving grades 6-8 in the Andrews Independent School District (Isd) with 970 students in a community where over half of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Andrews Middle shows a mixed but promising performance profile. The school's standout strength is 8th-grade mathematics, where 62.46% of students are proficient—significantly above the state average of 47.24%. This strength extends to 7th-grade math as well, which also outperforms the state. However, reading proficiency lags behind state averages across all grades, with 6th graders 13 percentage points below the state benchmark. Social studies is the weakest subject, with only 23.18% of 8th graders proficient compared to 31.69% statewide. The school maintains an excellent 0% dropout rate and has a student-teacher ratio of 16.5:1, with spending per student at $10,070.
The most notable finding is the dramatic difference in math performance between grade levels: 6th graders are 14 points below the state average in math, while 8th graders are 15 points above it, suggesting the math curriculum becomes increasingly effective in later middle school years. The school's state percentile ranking has fluctuated, moving from the 68th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 48th percentile in 2025-2026, indicating some inconsistency relative to peers. Despite serving a majority economically disadvantaged population, Andrews Middle achieves strong results in 8th-grade math and science, demonstrating effective support for its students. The school's challenges in reading and social studies suggest areas where instructional focus could be improved to match the success seen in upper-grade mathematics.
