Summary:
There is one middle school, Lighthouse Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in the Lighthouse Public Schools district in San Antonio, TX, with a small enrollment of 101 students and a high percentage of students (over 92%) qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
Lighthouse Middle is a school on a strong upward trajectory, having improved its state ranking from the 7th percentile three years ago to the 36th percentile in the most recent school year. This significant jump is a positive sign for parents, showing the school is making real progress. However, the school still performs below the state average overall. Its biggest strength is in 6th-grade Reading, where 62.5% of students were proficient, beating the state average. In contrast, Math proficiency across all grades lags behind the state, and 8th-grade Social Studies is a critical weakness, with only 12% of students proficient compared to the state's 31.69%.
Despite being in a district ranked in the bottom 15% of Texas, Lighthouse Middle stands out as a top performer within its own system. The school's dropout rate of 2.9% is lower than the district average of 4.0%. For parents, the key takeaway is that Lighthouse Middle is a school that is actively improving and outperforming its district, but it still faces significant challenges, particularly in Math and Social Studies, that require continued focus and support.
