Additionally, the school's spending per student ($9,065 in 2020-2021) is slightly higher than the state average but lower than some of the nearby high-performing schools, such as Carroll Middle in Carroll Independent School District (ISD), which has lower proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics compared to Argyle Middle. This suggests that Argyle Middle is able to achieve its exceptional academic results with relatively efficient resource allocation, making it a standout example of excellence in public education.
