Summary

Leon Taylor Middle in Ingleside, TX, serves 458 students in grades 6-8 within the Ingleside Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top third of Texas, and stands out as a high-performing school that achieves exceptional academic results, particularly in math, while serving a student body where over two-thirds qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The school’s most remarkable strength is its mathematics program. In 8th grade math, 70.18% of students scored proficient, far exceeding the state average of 47.24% and dramatically outperforming nearby Corpus Christi schools like Hamlin Middle (22.58%) and Driscoll Middle (18.8%). Even more impressive, Leon Taylor has achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam for three consecutive years, a full 46 points above the state average. This success extends to supporting all students: economically disadvantaged students rank in the 87th percentile statewide, while English Language Learners and special education students also perform in the top 20-25% of Texas schools. The contrast with its closest neighbor, A C Blunt Middle in Aransas Pass, is striking—Leon Taylor’s 8th grade math proficiency is nearly five times higher, despite serving a similar demographic.

While math is a clear standout, reading scores are solid and generally on par with or slightly above the state average. The school also maintains a perfect zero-dropout record over the last two years, reflecting strong student engagement. One area for attention is 8th grade social studies, where proficiency has been volatile, though it still exceeds the state average. Overall, Leon Taylor Middle is a model of equity and excellence in the Coastal Bend region, achieving results comparable to more affluent schools like Gregory-Portland Middle while serving a student body with over twice the poverty rate.
