Slayter Creek Middle, Anna TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Slayter Creek Middle

Slayter Creek Middle is a regular public middle school serving grades six through eight in Anna, a rapidly growing city in northern Collin County. The school enrolls about mid-sized cohorts across all three grades, with roughly half the student body qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The racial and ethnic makeup is balanced across Black, Hispanic, and White students, with smaller Asian and multiracial populations.

The school's state assessment results paint a picture of uneven performance across subjects and grade levels. In English language arts, students show relative strength in eighth grade, where roughly half met proficiency, while sixth and seventh grades sit lower. Math proficiency is notably weak across all three grades, with sixth and seventh graders around the lower-to-middle range and eighth graders dropping to much lower proficiency. Science and social studies are tested only in eighth grade; science proficiency sits near the midpoint, while social studies proficiency is quite low. Across all tested areas, only a small share of students achieved mastery level, and the school reports that roughly half of students approach proficiency in any subject area. When compared to other districts in Collin County, Slayter Creek's overall proficiency index places it in the bottom quartile among the county's districts.

The data available does not include metrics on chronic absenteeism, discipline, staffing levels, course access and electives, or special populations such as the English learner count and rate, so a parent seeking a fuller picture of daily school operations, support services, or behavioral environment may want to look into these further with the school. State testing data was the only academic measure available.

Anna itself is a fast-growing North Texas community of master-planned residential subdivisions and newer commercial corridors. Housing values in the area are moderate relative to national benchmarks, and median household income is solidly upper-middle-class. The city is actively investing in civic amenities, including a new public library on a municipal campus, and has adopted plans for a more walkable downtown. Schools sit on separate campuses from the downtown civic center, and Slayter Creek specifically sits on North Powell Parkway. Growth in student enrollment and residential construction continues to reshape the city, with major new subdivisions and mixed-use projects under way.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
