Summary

Resaca Middle in Brownsville, TX, serves 870 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly-rated Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District. This school stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced coursework, with nearly 98% of students proficient in Algebra I and a perfect 100% proficiency in Biology—far exceeding district and state averages. It also excels at supporting students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 75th percentile statewide for this group, and has maintained a 0% dropout rate for four of the last five years. However, Resaca Middle has seen a slight decline in its overall state ranking, earning 3-star ratings for the past four years after a long history of 4-star ratings.

When compared to nearby schools, Resaca Middle offers clear advantages. It significantly outperforms all Brownsville Independent School District (Isd) middle schools in reading, Algebra I, and Biology, with most of those schools ranking in the 30th to 40th percentiles statewide. Within its own district, Resaca Middle is the middle performer: Los Cuates Middle (3.8 miles away) consistently earns 4 stars and excels in grade-level math, while Liberty Memorial Middle (6.34 miles away) ranks lower. Resaca Middle’s reading proficiency is a consistent strength, with 8th-grade reading at 65%—well above the state average of 59%.

Despite these strengths, Resaca Middle faces a notable challenge in grade-level mathematics. Only 31% of 6th graders and 20% of 7th graders are proficient in math, both below state averages, creating a "barbell" effect where top students thrive in advanced classes while many others struggle. Additionally, 8th-grade social studies proficiency has been persistently below the state average. For parents, this means Resaca Middle is an excellent choice for students ready for advanced coursework, but those needing support in standard math or social studies may require extra attention. The school’s strong reading foundation and low dropout rates provide a stable environment for growth.
