Summary

Los Obispos Middle in Laredo, TX, serves 620 students in grades 6-8 within the United Independent School District (Isd) and has consistently earned a 3-star rating for the past four years, ranking in the 65th to 67th percentile statewide.

This school is a standout in mathematics, particularly for 6th and 8th graders. In 6th grade math, 65.91% of students were proficient, which is over 26 percentage points higher than both the district and state averages, and the highest score among all 10 nearby schools. The school also excels with its Algebra I End-of-Course exam, where students consistently achieve near-perfect scores (100% in 2025-2026), far exceeding the state average of 54%. However, 7th grade math is a notable weakness, with only 30.47% proficient, signaling a "slump" that needs attention. Additionally, 8th grade Social Studies is a systemic challenge across the area, with only 14.36% of Los Obispos students proficient, less than half the state average. Compared to its closest rival, Ricardo Molina Middle, which is less than a mile away and has a similar demographic profile, Los Obispos consistently outperforms it in overall rank (66th vs. 59th percentile) and in 6th grade math (65.91% vs. 33.33%).

Los Obispos is particularly effective at supporting its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 81st percentile statewide for this group—a 4-star rating that is higher than its overall rank. The school also excels with English Language Learners, ranking in the 73rd percentile. This demonstrates a strong "value-add" for students who often face challenges. The school has shown remarkable resilience since the pandemic, recovering from a low of the 38th percentile in 2020-2021 to its current stable performance, a turnaround more pronounced than many peers like Salvador Garcia Middle, which has declined in recent years. With a low dropout rate of 0.6%, Los Obispos is a reliable academic anchor in the south Laredo community.
