Middle Schools in South Texas Independent School District (Isd)

The South Texas Independent School District (ISD) is home to two exceptional middle schools, South Texas Independent School District (ISD) Preparatory Academy and South Texas Independent School District (ISD) Rising Scholars Academy, which consistently rank among the top-performing middle schools in the state of Texas.

Both schools have received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating they are among the best in the state. They significantly outperform the district and state averages on STAAR/EOC assessments, with over 90% of students proficient or better in subjects like Reading and Algebra I. The schools also have extremely low dropout rates, with both reporting 0.0% for the 2021-2022 school year.

The student populations at these schools are predominantly Hispanic, with the Preparatory Academy at 77.3% and the Rising Scholars Academy at 86.86%. However, the schools also have a diverse racial/ethnic makeup, with significant percentages of White, Asian, and other minority students. The high levels of per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios suggest that the South Texas Independent School District (ISD) is allocating significant resources to support these high-performing schools, which is clearly paying off in terms of student outcomes.
