Summary

Robert G Cole Middle/High School is a public school located on the Fort Sam Houston military base in San Antonio, TX, serving 810 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the Ft Sam Houston Independent School District (Isd).

This school is a standout performer, ranking in the 97th percentile among all Texas high schools and earning a 5-star rating from Schooldigger for the 2025-2026 school year. Its academic performance far exceeds that of nearby schools like MacArthur High School (46th percentile) and Roosevelt High School (42nd percentile), and even outperforms the well-regarded Alamo Heights High School (86th percentile). The school also boasts a near-perfect graduation rate of 98.3% and a 0.0% dropout rate, a stark contrast to the 78.8% graduation rate and 6.0% dropout rate at Roosevelt. With a low student-teacher ratio of 11.2:1, students receive more individualized attention than at larger schools like MacArthur (15.9:1) or Alamo Heights (13.8:1).

Cole benefits from exceptionally high per-student spending of $18,443, nearly double that of nearby schools, and a low rate of economic disadvantage (17.16% free/reduced lunch). This combination of resources and a focused student body—largely children of military personnel—creates a stable, supportive environment that drives consistent excellence across all student subgroups. The school has earned 5-star ratings for serving diverse groups, including African American, Hispanic, White, Special Education, and Gifted & Talented students, with the latter seeing a dramatic leap to the 99th percentile in recent years. This makes Cole a unique academic island of high performance in a region with significant educational disparities.
