It consistently outperforms the district and state averages on STAAR test scores, has a low dropout rate of 0.1%, and spends the least per student at $8,638. In contrast, Barwise Middle and Kirby Middle generally perform below the district and state averages on STAAR tests, with Kirby Middle, a public magnet school, having the lowest test scores among the three.

McNiel Middle has a majority white student population, while Barwise Middle and Kirby Middle have more diverse student bodies.
