Among these, Bonham Middle stands out as the highest-performing school, with a statewide ranking of 1325 out of 2361 Texas middle schools and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, compared to 1-star ratings for the other two schools.

While the schools have similar spending per student and student-teacher ratios, the racial makeup varies, with Travis Science Academy having the highest percentage of Hispanic students and Bonham Middle having the highest percentage of White students. Additionally, all three schools have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the district. The overall performance of the Temple ISD middle schools, as indicated by their low statewide rankings and 1-star ratings, suggests that the district may need to focus on improving educational outcomes for its students.
