Summary

Greg A Garcia Early College Intermediate is a small middle school in San Antonio, TX, serving 135 students in grades 6-8 as part of the New Frontiers Public Schools Inc district, which ranks in the 86th percentile statewide—far outperforming nearby districts like South San Antonio Independent School District (Isd) (10th percentile) and Harlandale Independent School District (Isd) (16th percentile).

This school has experienced a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 38th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 68th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating. It excels in reading, with 73.17% of 8th graders and 66.67% of 7th graders proficient—well above state averages—and performs exceptionally well for special education students (87th percentile) and low-income students (75th percentile). However, a significant challenge is 6th-grade math, where only 14.71% of students are proficient, compared to the state average of 38.57%. The school also maintains a perfect 0.0% dropout rate, a standout achievement in a community where nearby schools like Dwight Middle (2.9%) and Alan B Shepard Middle (1.1%) struggle more.

Compared to its closest rival, Robert C Zamora Middle (just 1.33 miles away), Garcia outperforms it in nearly every subject, especially 8th-grade reading (73.17% vs. 50%) and 7th-grade reading (66.67% vs. 40.59%). While the student-teacher ratio jumped from 11.1:1 to 20.7:1 in one year—now the highest among nearby schools—the school’s strong district support and focus on advanced coursework make it a compelling choice for families seeking a high-quality, inclusive education in San Antonio.
