Middle Schools in Quanah Independent School District (Isd)

Quanah Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single middle school, Travis Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school benefits from a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending, its academic performance has been a concern, with test scores consistently falling below state averages in core subjects like reading and mathematics.

Travis Middle's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 1081 out of 2254 Texas middle schools in 2021-2022 to 1510 out of 2361 in 2023-2024, accompanied by a decrease in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 2 stars. The school's struggles are particularly evident in mathematics, where proficiency rates range from just 2.86% (8th grade) to 20% (7th grade), well below the state averages. However, the school's performance on the STAAR Algebra I End of Course exam is a standout, with 100% of students scoring proficient or better, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

The demographic makeup of Travis Middle reflects the broader challenges facing the school, with a high percentage (79.61%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. While the Quanah ISD is ranked 361 out of 968 districts in Texas and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, the data suggests that the district and school may need to explore targeted interventions and resource allocation strategies to address the specific needs of their student population and improve academic outcomes.
