While the school maintains a low dropout rate, it spends around $10,000 per student, which is higher than the nearby Lago Vista Middle ($9,215) and Burnet Middle ($9,956) schools, and has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 14.5 compared to 13.8 and 14.2 at the nearby schools, respectively.
The significant performance gaps between different student subgroups at Marble Falls Middle, particularly for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low socioeconomic status students, suggest potential equity issues that the school and Marble Falls ISD may need to address. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 732 out of 1,987 Texas middle schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 1,373 out of 2,330 in 2022-2023, indicating that it is not keeping pace with improvements in other Texas middle schools.
