Midland Academy Charter School, TX

Original Research by School Decision on Midland Academy Charter School

Midland Academy Charter School is a single-campus charter district serving kindergarten through eighth grade in Midland County, Texas. The school operates with an enrollment of just over four hundred students, distributed across nine grades with modest fluctuation in class sizes.

The academic profile shows strength in English Language Arts but mixed results in mathematics. In ELA, students in grades seven and eight reach high proficiency, approaching nine in ten. Grades three through six show solid performance as well, with most grades at or above a majority of students meeting standards. Mathematics tells a different story. Early elementary grades three and four see lower proficiency, hovering around four in ten students. Performance improves in the upper elementary and middle grades, with grades six and seven showing stronger results, though grade eight dips again. Science proficiency in grade five falls below half of students. Grade eight science performance rises considerably. Social studies in grade eight shows proficiency below half of students. Overall, the pattern suggests students gain ground as they progress through the grades in some subjects, though the inconsistency across subjects and grades warrants attention.

The student body is roughly balanced between Hispanic and white students, with a small Asian population and a modest African American enrollment. Free-and-reduced-price lunch eligibility data was not available in the school's reported directory. Special education and English learner population counts were not provided.

Among Midland County's districts, Midland Academy ranks at the top quartile for overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades. Chronic absenteeism rates are exceptionally low compared to the county's other districts. Per-pupil spending falls in the lower range relative to county peers, reflecting the charter's resource profile.

The school operates as a single campus with no indication of recent facility expansion, curriculum overhaul, or administrative change. No graduation rate appears because the school does not serve high school grades. A parent evaluating this school should understand it as a small, stable elementary through middle charter with particular strength in literacy instruction and notable variability in mathematics proficiency across grades. Questions about math support and grade-level progression might be worth discussing directly with school staff.
