Midway Independent School District (McLennan County, Texas)
Midway Independent School District is a public school district based in Waco, Texas (USA).
The district is located in central McLennan County, and serves the cities of Hewitt, Woodway, and parts of Waco, Crawford, Lorena, McGregor and Robinson, as well as some unincorporated areas of McLennan County. In statewide parlance, the district is sometimes referred to as Waco Midway or Hewitt Midway to distinguish it from the Tuloso-Midway Independent School District near Corpus Christi, Texas.
In 2010 and 2011, the school district was rated "recognized" by the Texas Education Agency.[1] The T.E.A. 2012 ratings maintained the 2011 status. Under the new T.E.A. Accountability System in 2013, Midway ISD and all campuses are rated as “Met Standard.” Beyond basics, Midway’s highlights include:
- All 10 campuses surpassed the required performance standards as well as state averages in all measured indexes.
- Seven out of 10 campuses received recognitions through designated distinction areas.
- Both intermediate campuses (Woodgate and River Valley) received Distinction Designation in all three possible categories.
- Woodway Elementary and Speegleville Elementary received Distinction Designation in all three possible categories.
- Speegleville Elementary was ranked number one in “Student Progress” among its peer schools across the state, and Woodway Elementary was ranked number three among its peer schools. (Every campus has a unique set of peers determined by the state as having very similar size, demographics, and economic status.)
- Midway High School ranked in top quartile of its peer campuses in four Reading/ELA indicators, including Greater Than Expected Progress, AP Examination Performance, SAT Performance, and ACT Performance. Just this month, the College Board announced that 56 juniors and seniors at Midway High School earned AP Scholar Awards for exceptional achievement on Advanced Placement exams.
