Middle Schools in Irving Independent School District (Isd)

The Irving Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 8 middle schools serving students in grades 6-8. These schools serve a diverse student population, with Hispanic students making up the largest racial group across the district. While the middle schools in Irving ISD show some variability in academic performance, a few standout schools emerge from the data.

Lorenzo De Zavala Middle is the highest-ranked middle school in the district, receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 1445 out of 2361 Texas middle schools. It also has relatively strong academic performance, with higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages in several subject areas. Lamar Middle is another standout, with a higher statewide ranking of 1615 and the lowest dropout rate (0%) among the schools, as well as strong performance in reading and science.

While some schools excel, the overall low statewide rankings and 1-star ratings for most of the middle schools in Irving ISD indicate room for improvement. Factors such as high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients and the potential impact of socioeconomic status on academic achievement suggest the need for targeted interventions and support. By identifying and sharing best practices from the higher-performing schools, the district can work to raise academic standards across the middle school system.
