Summary:
The city of Ingleside, Texas, is served by the Ingleside Independent School District (Isd), which operates four public schools—Ingleside High School, Leon Taylor Middle, Ingleside Pri (PK-2), and Gilbert J Mircovich Elementary (3-5)—serving about 2,071 students in a community where economic disadvantage is a significant factor across all campuses.
The standout school in the district is Leon Taylor Middle, which has earned a 4-star rating for two consecutive years and ranks in the 73rd-74th percentile statewide. It is a math powerhouse, with 7th and 8th grade math proficiency rates far exceeding state averages, and it boasts a remarkable 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam. In contrast, Gilbert J Mircovich Elementary is the weakest performer, with a 2-star rating and declining test scores in reading, math, and science that fall below state averages. Ingleside High School is a consistent 3-star institution with a strong 96.2% graduation rate and excels in Biology and Algebra I, though it struggles in English II and U.S. History. Ingleside Pri serves the youngest students (PK-2) and has the highest rate of economic disadvantage, but lacks test score data for direct comparison.
Key metrics show favorable student-teacher ratios across the district, ranging from 13.6:1 at the high school to 16.3:1 at the middle school, and per-student spending is relatively uniform at around $10,000-$11,000. The district’s overall 3-star rating and 66th percentile ranking mask significant variation between schools. The most compelling takeaway is the success of the Algebra I pipeline at the middle school, which far exceeds state and district averages, while the decline at Mircovich Elementary suggests a need for targeted intervention in the upper elementary grades. Parents should note that the high school’s STEM strengths contrast with humanities weaknesses, and the middle school’s math program is a clear district asset.
