Summary

Rawlinson Middle in San Antonio, TX, serves 1,161 students in grades 6-8 within the Northside Independent School District (Isd), and is a historically high-performing school that has seen a gradual decline from a top-20% ranking to its current 69th percentile statewide.

Rawlinson presents a fascinating mix of strengths and challenges. It is a powerhouse in advanced math, with an impressive 89.2% of students proficient in Algebra I, far exceeding the district average of 53.43% and the state average of 54.03%. This is a consistent trend, suggesting a highly effective program for accelerating top-tier math students. However, the school struggles profoundly with on-grade-level 7th-grade math, where only 10.43% of students are proficient—a persistent, multi-year issue. This creates a stark contrast: while the top math students thrive, the majority of 7th graders are not mastering the standard curriculum. In 8th grade, Rawlinson excels across reading, math, and social studies, significantly outperforming district and state averages. Nearby Garcia Middle has maintained a top-10% ranking over the same period, highlighting that Rawlinson's decline is not a district-wide trend.

Rawlinson serves a relatively affluent student body, with only 30.4% qualifying for free/reduced lunch, and spends less per student ($7,690) than nearby schools like Neff Middle ($9,725) and Rudder Middle ($9,333). This suggests efficient resource allocation, but the persistent struggles in 7th-grade math may be an area where increased investment could yield significant returns. The school's support systems for its most vulnerable students appear inconsistent, as performance for economically disadvantaged students is low, while it performs well for other groups. Overall, Rawlinson is a school of contrasts—capable of elite results in advanced math and strong 8th-grade scores, yet needing to address foundational math gaps to reverse its downward trend.

This is a great school until it isn't. If your child has any special needs or on a 504 plan you will get no support. Close Quote

My daughter was attending Rudder M.S. in 2010-2011, & gained nothing but friends of the worst kind & grades were no different. She asked for help while attending the school, & was given 30 minutes after school of tutoring, which consisted of 1 teacher to over 25 students in need help just the same. Obviously when the staff shows little interest, the students will act the same. I moved from the district & enrolled her in Rawlinson M.S. .Since then my child has SPECTACULAR!! The students there are way more driven because of the overwhelming attention & skill the entire staff show the kids. My daughter is now on her way to high school, 1 yr earlier than expected. This school & it's staff have done a remarkable job. And given my child a whole new outlook on her education. I am extremely grateful to them all!! Close Quote
